Visits
- 2025-12-04: We stopped at a cow pond just off the main road toward Wangaratta where we found some probably haunted baby graves. The weather was a bit too hot, so we went into town to get lunch. After lunch, we drove into another area of the park where there was a small pond in the forest. I hid in the trees and waited for birds coming in for a drink.
- 2025-12-05: We tried another area in the south of the national park. We didn't find any water source, however, and it was quite windy to boot.
