I was there in February this year while spending a 5 day weekend in Apollo
Bay and despite having never been to Beech Forest before the formation was
fairly easy to find, by the looks of it the tennis court seems to have been
abandoned not long after the railway. The line to Crowes heads off to the
left of the road towards Lavers Hill and from what I could see of the
formation, it (minus the rails) looks exactly the same as it did when the
line was opened. I'm sure that one of the shots in The Beechy was shot from
where I was parked, it looked too similar not to be.
