I bet that will get you pretty close.

A couple of local Ag. pilots rediscovered it when they were topdressing just next door.

Unfortunately it isnt that hard to get to and I have seen photos of people sitting in the pilots seat. Quite a few things have been taken, gunsight, instruments etc... I understand it to be heritage listed now but I know of no plans for it to be salvaged.

The DNRE offered the Bell 205 (i think it was) free of charge after the fire season to lift it out but no one seemed keen to do anything with it after that, so it still sits there. Must be corodeing(?) fairly quickly now that the air is to it. Lake Corangamite is very salty.
