Hi Noah and Danika, I used to live and work in Omeo, some 16 years back. I still have contact with a midwife who still works at the Omeo hospital so will give her a call and find out if she knows of anyone doing homebirths in the area. There is a homebirth midwife near Wodonga, but I think Omeo would be too far to travel, especially at that time of the year. There may be someone in the Bairnsdale area, I don't know. I'll let you know what I find out. Best wishes, Joy
