Due to recent DSE controlled fuel reduction burning, some of the trails at Forrest were closed for a couple of weeks. This operations are now complete and all trails are open again.

With beautiful Autumn days down here right now, there is no better time to come and check out what Forrest has to offer.  The burning always gives the landscape a totally different look and this is the case now.

Here is a video created recently that highlights some of the newly burned...

Traditionally the Otway Ranges (where we are located) is one of the wettest areas of Victoria.  During the winter of 2010 we did get quite a bit of rain.

However over the past 4 weeks of deluge of weather around Victoria, we have actually missed most of it.

So for all you who are wondering "are the trails at Forrest open right now"... the answer is:

THE TRAILS ARE OPEN AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION!

Happy trails.
