Otway Fly Tree Top Walk is a 600-metre long walkway, 25 metres above the forest floor, made from more than 120 tonnes of steel. As we walk we feast our eyes on amazing rainforest scenery, and when we return to earth, we can enjoy a feast of food and drink in the unique cafe, set in the stunning surrounds of the forest. The Otway Fly's Cafe offers a range of organic and free-range gourmet food, barbecue meals, drinks, wine and the opportunity to relax in some of the world's most beautiful rainforest scenery. There are only two other steel canopy walks in the world and both in Australia: Valley of the Giants in Western Australia and the Huon Valley in Tasmania. The Otway Fly was opened on September 8, 2003. The Otway Fly is a privately owned Australian company located on 225 acres. The structure was pre-fabricated in Launceston and shipped over in 8-metre spans, where it was erected on site by the use of cranes. 60% of the walk was built on pre-existing logging tracks. The project took 10 months to complete. It is located in cool temperature rainforest 500 metres above sea level. The 24-metre cantilever section can hold 28 tonnes, equivalent to the weight of 14 elephants.
