- Mornington Peninsula national park just walk down hill off the walking track right at the start (might have to jump a few fallen trees and whatnot, also can't remember the name of the specific track, sorry) there is hundreds of them, unless someone got there first.
- I also hear even just at Deakin Uni, I'm not sure which campus, they grow everywhere near some creek? I've never been there but you know, rumor has it. Burwood student here confirming. It's a long creek and there are loads of places along there where they grow. Remember: it's a uni tho so most of them will go pretty quickly methinks
- Rowville - schools and parks... so so so much here.
- Hampton Park - Cairns rd park
- Dandenong - Kriegal way park just off Outlook Dr, there's a big park there with HEAPS growing near the creek. Follow the path near the toilets about 100m up.
- The park next to laburnum station
- Just outside the Zoo. Near the tram stop.
- Alfred Nichols & George Tinsdale gardens in Sherbrooke are fruitful.
- Bundoora/Reservoir. Plenty around the uni campuses up there but they get snapped up very very quickly.
- Wombat State Forest and the small pine forest above Shoreham beach down on the way to Flinders. Sometimes the Dandenongs are fruitful too.
- 2 spots in the inner east: the tanbark area of the park on Park Grove, Richmond (the tanbark lies between the oval and Yarra Boulevard) - there's also a few good tanbark spots near the skate park at Camberwell junction
- Mt Macedon GPS
*Upper furntree gully used to be nice place. Train access, parkland and a lawnmower to spread spores.
