  7. Errinundra Saddle Rainforest Walk

1km, 40 mins | Errinundra National Park | Boardwalks pass trickling streams, friendly ferns and some of the largest living shining gums in the world.

Walk in awe under forest giants and step into a lost world of ancient rainforest.

This tranquil trail twists and winds over elegant streams. This section of the park is dominated by sassafras and black olive berry and features 400 year old mountain plum pines.

Enjoy looking at the canopy above, as the raised boardwalk makes it easy to get carried away rather than managing your footing. The boardwalk also protects the ethereal ferns, colourful fungi and delicate rainforest unique to East Gippsland.
