The Gippsland Worm Museum
Well I know it exists. It was mentioned in a Rough Guide I owned once upon a time.
Thing is, although I know where Gippsland is, and I know about the legendary 4 metre worms, I can't find the exact whereabouts of this shrine. Does anyone else know? Can't find the address on the web (before someone suggests I do a search).
Thanks

The Giant Worm Museum .
Located in Bass on the Bass Hwy., 20 min. drive past Lang Lang is The Giant Worm Museum, advertised as "The Wonder From Down Under", "a world first" and a place where you can "see the world's largest earth worms on display". This 100m structure, in the likeness of the worms it celebrates, allows the visitor to crawl through a magnified worm burrow and walk through a simulated worm's stomach. It also features a theatrette, a natural history of worms, a marine worm tank and a local history display.
Gippsland is in fact the only region in the world which produces the giant worms, which can grow to nearly 3 metres in length.
The attraction offers a unique opportunity of close contact & handling of our popular wildlife. Amenities - 150 seat coffee shop - gift shop, BBQ & picnic areas, toilets, coach & car parking. Open every day 10am - 5pm. Bass Highway, Bass. Contact (03) 5678 2222

Re: The Gippsland Worm Museum
Yes..(stands up)....I've been to the Gippsland Worm Museum....and it rocks!
Jeez, I feel better for that. It's better to get these things out in the open.
A few of us went there for nothing better to do a few years back.
Had a great time and when they say them fella's are big they arn't joking.
It had a fine gift shop as I recall with a nice display of miniture handbags one
of which I purchased and used to pay for drinks in pubs for quite some time.
Still have it somewhere.
Scotty.
