Giant Gippsland Earthworms Out of Sight?

We went today to Bass, in Gippsland, committed and excited to see the giant earthworms, which can reach on avearge, 1 meter in length! Megascolides australis are an out-of-this-world creature. Well, we found out they are indeed out-of-sight for now, because the museum where we could see them apparently shut down about 6 months ago... Big disappointment. I am not sure where else we can see them, but we shall investigate. These earthworms live deep in the soil and come to the surface only in heavy rain. Their habitat is restricted to the Bass River Valley of South Gippsland, in an area of about 100,000 hectares. They live in a unique kind of blue-grey clay within a short distance of water sources. To many of you, the worms may sound like disgusting creatures, but they are part of nature and their beauty is certainly not physical, but can be found in their uniqueness in nature. These rare types of creatures or plants, landscapes or land formations make Australia unique in the world. Beautiful! So we continued the trip after Bass and went to Inverloch, ate some scrumptious fish and chips, and then embarked on an exploratory trip. We visited the Bunurong Marine National Park. Well, it's winter, we didn't snorkel, but the walks on the coast were magnificent! Please look at the picture.
