Banyule Flats is very big. The part of the reserve where this mystery needs to be solved is past the cricket grounds, south of the swamp.

Park in the Somerset Drive carpark and head towards the walking track through the gate marked '24-hour access required'. Turn right and follow the path past the cricket nets until you can see the directional signage on your left.
