They can touch the plants, smell the forest leaf litter, and hear frog calls. Small forest birds hop past on the pathway and native fish dart around the stream. Forest Secrets provides insights into the interconnected and multi-layered nature of forest life through the theme of change. There are five pathways in the gallery. Proudly supported by Melbourne Water.
Earth is about the impact of continental drift on the evolution of forest life.
Climate illustrates the seasonal changes evident in forest life. Fire tells how bushfires threaten people, yet regenerate forest life. Humans illustrates people's perceptions of the forest and the impacts they make on forest life. Using artwork, views and plantings each pathway describes the context of the story. The Forest Gallery is a 'window' to Victoria's tall forests.
