Bemm River Rainforest Walk

The Bemm River Rainforest walk is just off the Princes Highway and is a good spot for a break from driving. This particular section of rainforest is more open than other rainforest walks in the state and does not feature the high, dense tree canopy. The rainforest is also restricted to the river valley with dryer forests on adjacent ridges, making the transition more obvious for the uninitiated.

As with other 'rainforest walks' there are sections of sealed track and boardwalks to make the going easier in the wet (and to protect the forest from you) as well as two suspension bridges across a minor tributary of the Bemm River.

I stopped by a few years later and tried a panorama from the middle of the suspension bridge. It was a pretty dry summer when this was taken but there was still plenty of green. This was actually quite difficult to photograph as the slightest movement would start the bridge swinging.

Here's a panorama from the middle of the suspension bridge. This was actually quite difficult to photograph as the slightest movement would start the bridge swinging.  One of the places I'll have to reshoot with my new 8mm lens.
