They're not tickable!!  As far as I know there's a semi feral group of
variable size that ranges through the wider Lara area from Serendip - a
couple wander around the lake estate in Lara town for example.  For real
tickable CBGs in Victoria, head east to the Prom or west to the volcanic
lakes.  BTW, what about the ones on Phillip Island - are they the real
thing?
