User's notes
There were about 40 plus of them in a gathering up past the bookshop, and on the road that runs up to the mallee area. About approximately a hundred metres up the road, and on the right as you head up the hill.

Judith, thanks so much for sharing the directions, I was able to find them today - what a wonderful sight, and a great opportunity to see the life cycle in action.
