Definately! You'll find the usual suite of gobies including P. olorum,
and probably 4 or 5 other common species. A better area would be just
around the corner into NSW. There is a cape right near the border which
is kinda like a biogeographical border, ie you can find different species
on each side of the "line". Probably due to the currents coming down
from up north. In freshwater in NSW you have a much higher chance of
picking up a variety of gudgeons too. One fish to look out for (fw or
estuarine) is the dwarf flathead gudgeon. Well worth having a go at keeping.

Actually, my beginnings were long before I went to LaTrobe Uni. :-)
About 12 years earlier to be precise.
Good luck collecting and let us all know how you go.
