The only way police would throw resources that way is if there had been compliants of shooting in the state park. It is extremely rare to see cops in the Lerderderg/Wombat area unless it is the solo squad doing trail bike enforcement stuff, or the occasional divvy van that got lost.

I presume there just checking licences and firearm registration.

They asked us do we have any firearms with us, we all said no and then they moved on. They were very polite about it.
I reckon probably sat on the roads listening at night.
Plenty of shotgun shells lying on the roads and tracks as you drive along and damaged signs so that may be why they're there.
