The 3.7kg (8lb 3oz) bundle of joy from Mallacoota was delivered in the back of an ambulance, parked on the side of Mt Drummer, en route to Orbost Hospital on Monday, March 2.
Little Audrey followed in the footsteps of her big brother Miles, aged two, who was also born in the back of an ambulance.
"I have a history of fast labours," Audrey's mum, Miriam Riverlea, said on Tuesday.
She made it to hosipital, but only just, when her eldest son Leo, now aged four, was born.
Ms Riverlea, Audrey, Leo, Miles, and dad Rory Wood-Ingram were reunited for the first time on Tuesday with Victorian Ambulance community officers Catherine Pirrie and Rosemary Hine who helped with the delivery.
There were flowers, photos and cuddles all round as they relived Audrey's speedy and somewhat dramatic entry into the world.
The plan had been for Audrey to be born in Orbost Hosital, a two-hour drive from Mallacoota.
But only two hours into labour, Audrey's arrival was imminent.
And so at 8.40pm, in the back of the ambulance parked on the roadside pull-off on the crest of Mt Drummer, near Cann River, Audrey entered the world.
Ms Pirrie and Ms Hine - who are not paramedics - said their simulated learning experience (SLE) training as community officers, funded by the Mallacoota Ambulance Auxilliary, enabled them to remain calm and confident.
"We've never delivered a real baby before, only the plastic dummies they use in simulated training sessions," Ms Hine said.
"We can't thank Bairnsdale Rural Health enough, especially Laurea, Marnie and Deb, as well as community support coordinator Terry Houge, at Ambulance Victoria, here in Mallacoota, for the training we have received," Ms Pirrie said.
The pair had called paramedics in Orbost and the plan was to do a patient changeover at the petrol station at Cann River.
"But before we even reached Cann River Miriam said 'I think you'd better stop' and then the magic happened," Ms Hine said.
Despite the delivery being an "all-female production", Rory has been widely credited for calmly and capably helping in the birth of his new pride of joy.
Dr Sara Renwick-Lau, who was also en route from Mallacoota, arrived moments after the delivery to give crucial assistance.
The couple would also like to thank Orbost paramedic Heidi Murray and the Orbost Hospital staff for what they described as quality care every kilometre of the way.
