AGNES WATERFALL

Agnes Falls is a hidden gem tucked away in the rolling green hills of the Strzelecki Ranges in South Gippsland, Victoria. Plunging 59 metres into a sheltered, fern-lined gorge, it holds the title of the highest single-span waterfall in Victoria. It is an easy, highly rewarding natural pitstop located roughly 2.5 to 3 hours southeast of Melbourne.

BLUEBOTTLE FLY

The bluebottle fly or bottlebee (Calliphora vomitoria) is a common blow fly found in most areas of the world and is the type species for the genus Calliphora. Similar species include the greenbottle fly, a close relative that can be distinguished by its bright green metallic colouring. Bluebottle fly adults feed on nectar, while the larvae feed on carcasses of dead animals. Adults are also pollinators to some flowers with strong odour.
