A and I walked to St Georges River along the timber tramway path. In the early days of the 20th century, timber was cut in the Otways and shipped from the Lorne pier. Actually, as the placards along the route tell us, there were several tramway routes, but a couple were mostly destroyed when the road was built. The remaining route, which is now a walking track, climbs up and over the spur, but even it (so a placard informs us) doesn’t follow the original route in its entirety due to the building of the road. Just the same, it’s a very pleasant walk, albeit a bit steep and rough in some parts, with some great views out over the ocean and along the coast.
