Expert Movers has more than 10 years of moving experience. We’ve done over 5,000 moves, and our customers give us a 4.9★ rating. Beech Forest sits high in the hills, far from big towns, so every move here needs a clear plan. Here’s how we do it.

A Small Town High on the Otway Ridge

Beech Forest is in the Colac Otway Shire, postcode 3237. It sits on a ridge in the Otway Ranges, about 32 km south of Colac. The town had 125 people at the 2021 census, up from 82 in 2016.

It’s a small place with a hotel, a church, a primary school and a recreation reserve. Most homes are on farms or bush blocks around the town.

Named After the Myrtle Beech Trees

The town takes its name from the myrtle beech trees that grow in the local rainforest. Today, much of the land around town is used for potato farming.

Farm homes often come with sheds, workshops and outdoor gear. Tell us about everything you’re moving, so we bring the right truck.

Once the Heart of the Timber Railway

In 1902, a narrow railway from Colac reached Beech Forest, and timber became the big local trade. The line closed in 1962. Today, much of the old track is the Old Beechy Rail Trail, a 45 km path between Beech Forest and Colac.

Some older homes from these early days have small rooms and narrow doors. We take apart large furniture when needed, so it fits through safely.

Winding Roads and Busy Visitor Spots

The drive to Beech Forest is long and winding, whether you come from Colac or Apollo Bay. Nearby attractions like the Otway Fly and Hopetoun Falls bring visitors, especially on weekends and holidays.

We plan our route and timing around this. An early start often helps us beat the busiest traffic.

Cool, Wet Weather Up High

Being high on the ridge, Beech Forest is often cool, wet and foggy. Rain can make gravel driveways slippery. If heavy rain or fog is forecast, we’ll talk to you a few days before about a backup date.

Getting Supplies Before Moving Day

Beech Forest has no big shops, so most people buy supplies in Colac or Apollo Bay. Pick up boxes and tape early, or ask us to bring packing materials. We can also store your things if your new home isn’t ready.
