Some of the herps are starting to wake up. One of our ELN turtles has started to become more active so you might be lucky and see some in the wild.

If you go via Ballarat take out an hour or two and check the Ballarate Wild Life Park. Their collection of native australian reptiles is very impressive and better than most of the zoos etc. Assuming that you are driving back on Sunday it would be a good place to break the journey and take an early lunch.
