Orbost, in East Gippsland, sits amid tall wet eucalypt forest and river red gum flats along the Snowy River floodplain. Grazing pasture covers cleared valley land, and remnant messmate and blue gum forest cover surrounding hills. Wattle is abundant on forest margins in late winter. Being further east and drier than the high country towns, Orbost's pollen profile leans more heavily on eucalypt forest and pasture grass than on rainforest or alpine species.

How often is the Orbost pollen forecast updated?
The Orbost pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Orbost come from nearby or far away?
Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Orbost based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.
Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Orbost, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.
This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
