Protected area in Victoria, Australia
The Melba Gully State Park was formed to protect a small pocket of natural temperate rainforest in the Otway Ranges near Apollo Bay , Victoria, Australia . The 48-hectare (120-acre) park is extremely valuable as one of the few pockets of natural old-growth Otway Ranges rainforests to survive the logging and subsequent fires, making it a key part of the regeneration of the original Otway Ranges rainforests. The park now forms part of the Great Otway National Park .
The gully has a dense cover of myrtle beech (Nothofagus cunninghamii Acacia melanoxylon Arachnocampa otwayensis [2] bioluminescent larvae of small flies known as fungus gnats , can be seen at night along the stream banks and walking tracks.[1] [3] [4]
The park has few facilities due to its small size, but it has a picnic ground and basic picnic facilities, with the main attraction being the 35 minute Madsens Track Nature Walk.[3]
