Anyone had any recent sightings of Gang-gangs in the Melbourne/Great Ocean Rd/ Halls Gap/ Macedone circuit? I’ll be travelling that route in the next week and would appreciate any info.

Mt Ingoldsby Rd or Bald Hill Rd, road to the Sheoke Picnic Ground – Allenvale Rd) you will usually hear them a few times along any drive. Basically, if you drive through any of the drier forest areas in the Otways (such as the road to Pt Addis, or the roads behind Anglesea i.e. Typically – like Yellow-tailed Cockatoo – their distinct gang-gang call is always a massive give-away. In the Otways, they’re regular at the Sheoke Picnic Ground (couple of km behind Lorne), the Distillery Creek Picnic Ground (Aireys Inlet) and the Ironbark Basin Walk at Point Addis, and also the road to lookout itself at Point Addis. Aside from that, I usually see them around the Wartook Tea House on the west side of the Grampians. The only good news (in terms of seeing Gang-gangs) is that the birds are now localised around a number of spots, such as Halls Gap. There has been some massive fires in the Grampians over the last few years, with large areas of forest burnt out. There are a couple of parks in downtown Halls Gap where they regularly fly through, such as the main park opposite the shops, or near the back of the oval at the intersection of Grampians Rd and Northern Grampians Rd. Hi Colin, You’ve mentioned a few good spots to see Gang-gang, particularly the Otways and Halls Gap, particularly in the summer months.
