Luminosity Location
I've done web searches for Glow worm tunnel, glow worm drain, glow worm Gippsland and so on with no useful results.
Anyone know anything about the location that they'd care to share?
Very True!
When I found Lumo I looked into glow worms & bats.
Bats don't take well to people walking through their habitat during hibernation & breeding season, so we only explored it during the summer, but then as more and more people explored it at random times, the bats moved on.
The glow worms don't like noise, smoke, spray paint, etc.
Just taking known trusted people seemed to work for the first 12 years, but as the urbex scene grew in recent years & more people have been exploring it, the amount of glow worms have continued to deteriorate to where there is only half of what there originally was.
The good news is that they recently put cameras on the tunnel & now that it's part of the watersupply, it's no longer a Melbourne Water bylaw to get caught in there, but a criminal offense, so as people get caught & get convictions, the word is going around & people are losing interest in it, and hopefully the glow worms & bats get to rejuvenate in the tunnel.
I'm pretty sure once ImaGladRag finds the Melbourne Water building where the entrance is located, that will be the end of it.

Can you DM me the location? I'm hungry and want hide in the water, surviving by slurping up glowworms and unassuming urbexers.ironfistdoug wrote: ↑02 Feb 2024, 12:03 pmNo idea what the OP says.

Looks like its on a walking track, plenty of unassuming hikers to consume, reckon I'd glow if I eat enough glowworms?

Isn't it great?
The Blackwater rafting was the most fun, where they give you a wetsuit and a inner-tube and send you down a cave. Imagine being the first person to discover that. The glowworms pop up halfway through the tour. Wait wait, there's rafting?! I thought I'd purposefully avoid NZ for my entire life, but now I have to go...
Well it's more like floating down an underground river with a tube for 2-4 hours, but its close enough ;-) Waitomo also has all the glowworm tours where there's a boat and a massive chamber so honestly anything in Australia would pale in significance.Nippy108 wrote: ↑14 Feb 2024, 9:20 amWait wait, there's rafting?!

We did whitewater rafting and canyoning in Queenstown in the South Island, they have massively different public liability laws there so you can do more dangerous things...
