Crossing a road somewhere between Walkerville and Wilsons Prom... Wasn't really intentional, but we were spotlighting around that area, initially looking for Moreporks which we were unsuccessful in finding. I know they're spread throughout Gippsland, not really sure where the best spots are for them but there seems to be a decent number of records on Wilsons Prom itself.
