Parks Victoria currently estimates visitation to the estate through a biennial broad based community survey of 12,000 people from Victoria, Interstate and Overseas to impute visitation levels. Telephone surveys are conducted throughout the year for Australian residents and at Melbourne airport for overseas visitors.
