Visits
- 2025-11-18: Great Otway National Park starts in Lorne, and we drove up a dirt road behind town until we encountered a puddle on the side of the road. There were a lot of birds calling in the trees, but it was difficult to get good views of any of them. We came back after dinner to set up a moth sheet. A few moths turned up to get photographed.
