Otway Fly Treetop Adventures

Otway Fly Treetop Adventures is home to ten enchanting fairy houses for visitors to discover as they
wander through the magical rainforest during the April school holidays.
Handcrafted by volunteers from Men’s Shed Colac, the charming fairy houses create a spellbinding

Children receive a special activity card for their journey to help them find the letters on each of the
dainty houses to spell out the magic word to collect a reward.
Nathan Bridgeman, Attraction Manager at Otway Fly, says the fairy houses have been immensely
popular since they arrived in late December, which prompted the team to extend their residency into
the April school holidays.
“We’ve had such a delightful reaction from our visitors about the fairy houses created by Men’s Shed.
People young and old have enjoyed discovering the little homes as they meander through the forest
at Otway Fly,” said Nathan.
Volunteers from Men’s Shed Colac built the ten fairy houses using reclaimed wood from the Otway
