Unique to East Gippsland, the ancient cool temperate rainforest of the Errinundra Plateau is dominated by southern sassafras and black olive berry, and features enormous mountain plum pines, some over 400 years old. As well as Victoria’s largest stand of rainforest, the plateau supports magnificent tall eucalypt forests of shining gum and cut-tail, and beautiful stands of silver wattle.
The walk starts from the picnic ground at Errinundra Saddle, which also features interpretive displays and information on the nature of the rainforest and the history of the park.
It’s an easy self-guided trail under the rainforest canopy, over small streams, past elegant ferns and colourful fungi. Most of the track is on a boardwalk raised above the forest floor, designed to enhance the comfort of visitors and protect the delicate rainforest environment.
Drive to Mount Ellery and Ocean View Lookouts in the south of the park for spectacular views across the heavily forested mountains and valleys to the distant coast.
