There’s a plethora of unsealed and sealed roads that duck, twist and weave between the crystal-clear streams, fern-filled depressions, plantations and towering gums of western Victoria’s southern regions. Graeme Sedgwick went in search of some of the best.

The postage-stamp sized village of Moriac became my start point before heading to Deans Marsh, an even smaller hamlet boasting a magnificent store-come-bakery café. At any other time it would also have been a perfect place to stop, but I had no time to enjoy either if I was to make it through a loosely planned southern circuit following Cape Otway Road.
Barwon Downs beckoned, and after a short plantation detour immediately south of Seven Bridges Road and north of Yaugher, I rolled into Forrest, a very on-trend destination these days, with a brewery, café, pub and hideaway accommodation.It’s in stark contrast to when the town was a narrow-gauge railhead for fresh-cut timber.
