Bemm River Scenic Reserve - Bellbird Creek
The paved Rainforest Walk at the junction of the Bemm and McKenzie rivers enables visitors to experience a rainforest river valley, its secrets of survival and the creatures it harbours. Swing bridges over the McKenzie River and through the gnarled trees add a different dimension to the rainforest experience.
Things to see and do
The Rainforest Walk is a perfect opportunity for travellers to stop, break their drive and stretch their legs. The walk is one kilometre long over sealed paths, boardwalks and swing bridges. It takes about 30 - 45 minutes to complete at a relaxed pace. Although the track is sealed, wheelchair access is not recommended due to steps in some sections.
Information boards along the walk explain the special plants, animals and processes such as fire and flood that contribute to this environment. The nearest camping facilities are in the townships of Cann River, Orbost and Bemm River.
Looking after the park
* All native plants, animals, cultural and historic sites and natural features are protected
* Take your rubbish with you
* Please stay on the tracks and paths provided- young trees and shrubs are trying to grow elsewhere
* Dogs are permitted in the reserve but must be kept on a leash and under control at all times
Precautions
Remember to check weather conditions before you go as the bridges and boardwalk in the scenic reserve are subject to flooding.
