Ollie now calls the breathtaking cool temperate rainforest home. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOllie has so much fun and loves playing on the 600 metre long, 25 metre high elevated tree top walk. It\u2019s the worlds longest and highest treetop walk, and it\u2019s a kingdom fit for a dinosaur. He\u2019s always running up to his lair at the top of the 47 metre high tower for a birds eye view through the canopy over the wet eucalypt &#038; cool temperate forests\u201d says Elaine Burridge GM.<\/p>\n<p>Ollie is a very good baby dinosaur but all he wants to do is have fun! That\u2019s why Ollie has invited all his new friends to come and play with him at his home, Otway Fly, on the 27th of December to 11 January.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOllie has giveaways for the kids and he is very, very excited! Ollie just can\u2019t wait to show his dinosaur kingdom where there\u2019s plenty of flora and fauna to see. Come and play on his new playground &#038; go abseiling\u201d Burridge says. On some weekends in January, there will even be Ollie\u2019s real life cousins, the Roaming Reptiles, there to touch and play. Check the website for details www.otwayfly.com.au<\/p>\n<p>Ollie loves taking his new friends down the prehistoric path where they can see and learn more about the world of his dinosaur ancestors, which have been extinct for over 100 million years. Follow the trails through his Myrtle Forest home. Like Ollie, the Myrtle lives at the Fly and remains the keeper of millions of years of secrets. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOllie has been stomping around making lots of appearances in Geelong at the Westfield shopping centre and even the Apollo Bay Day Care Centre where he had a great time at his first ever Christmas party\u201d says Burridge.
