Current Google maps show a Lake Ayrey very near the Princes Highway east of Colac about 3 kms east of Warncoort.

My calculations are that would be about half way between Colac and Winchelsea near or on the highway. Perhaps a Colac or Winchelsea local may know more. It a while since I've been through there.

One person is named James Ayrie Bennett - one could maybe assume that he is named for his place of birth. Maybe it is a misspelling of Ayrey or Aireys. Are either of these bona fide locations?
