Conserve Their Energy

I woke up to sunlight streaming into my room through large French windows. Within minutes, a strong wind buffeted the leaves of a gum tree outside, bringing with it clouds rolling in from the coast of Cape Otway in southern Victoria, towards the Otway mountains. Moments later, the sky was overcast, then pouring. I huddled into my blankets, feeling as snug as a possum in a hollow— appropriately the name of my room at the Great Ocean Ecolodge.

Each room is named for an animal home, and the ethos of the guest house is that it should sit as lightly on its 165-acre surroundings as any burrow or nest. In fact, for owners Lizzie Corke and Shayne Neal, the rustic lodge is secondary to the Conservation Ecology Centre they founded here in 2000, as recent graduates.
