Bimbi Park
is in Cape Otway, the centre of the Great Ocean Road and the Great Ocean Walk,
an area of magnificent forests, beaches, secluded bays and spectacular
coastline,. It is sheltered among tall manna gums far away from the wearing
noise of towns and traffic. |
|
In the local
Aboriginal language, 'bimbi' means 'a place of many
birds' and the park's bushland is alive with bird song. You'll hear
Kookaburras, Rosellas, Magpies, Blue Wrens, Robins and the carolling
Shrike-Thrush.

permitted, however, during the summer months fires cannot be lit on total fire
ban days. Bimbi Park supplies portable fire places and there is a
modern amenities block with laundry facilities. Essential groceries, drinks and
ice-creams are available from the kiosk.

Bimbi
Park also offers a unique attraction in its out door Theatre. Sit our
amongst the stars with the wildlife and enjoy free feature films and shorts
during the peak holiday periods. Pat and Cyril have lived at Cape
Otway for years and know the Otway Region better than anyone. They are always
eager to share their information with you, so feel free to ask about anything.
Backpackers
Short walks and car
trips take you to beaches and rock headlands where the great Southern Ocean
roars onto the shore, or to small safe sandy bays and beaches where children can
swim and play. There are lots of longer walks in the magnificent forests of
Otway National Park.
You can fish from
the rocks and beaches, go scuba diving or visit historic Cape Otway Lighthouse
built in 1848 to guide seafarers through the hazardous waters of Bass Strait.
While the climate of Cape Otway is temperate and pleasant through most of the
year, its beautiful and dramatic coast has a formidable reputation. Fifty
vessels have sunk on this stretch of coastline with the Schomberg, Loch Ard,
Eric the Red and the Falls of Halladale being the better known of them.
Bimbi
Park is also a unique horse riding venue. Trail rides include some
stupendous Otway scenery with rides on wild untouched beaches, along coastal
cliff tops, through stunning bushland and to spectacular river lookouts. Rides
are affordable and suitable for all age groups and levels of skill.
