The Cumberland River catchment (approximately 3,750 ha) is the last truly wild river in the Otways and Western Victoria. It is a fully forested catchment that has no agricultural or urban development. The river has a series of waterfalls that are still isolated. The biological diversity in the catchment is excellent. The catchment has 300 foot high mountain ash trees and the most eastward stands of Cool Temperate Rainforest in the Otways. There are no dams on the river that has an average flow rate of about 20,000 mega litres per annum. The water from the Cumberland is pure to drink as it runs under the Great Ocean Road and enters the sea.

Marvelous capture Frank, that is one strange looking tree and it's bark on the left. Love this almost wilderness shot. So this is a river, it looks more like a great creek. Sure bet there is some super wildlife around.
