Airline pilot Greg Lynn will appeal his 32-year jail term for the murder of missing camper Carol Clay.
Lynn filed the appeals against sentence and conviction late yesterday, the Victorian Supreme Court confirmed.
He also lodged an extension of time application.

Lynn, 58, was sentenced to 32 years behind bars for murdering Clay, 73, at a high country campsite in March 2020.
A jury found he shot her in the head and then placed her body – and the body of her lover Russell Hill, 74 – into a trailer before driving them to a remote bush track.
Lynn returned seven months later after the COVID-19 lockdown lifted to burn their remains into more than 2000 bone fragments.
He admitted burning the bodies but denied the two charges of murder, claiming the two deaths were accidental.
The jury returned split verdicts in June, finding he killed Clay but not Hill.

Soon after the verdicts, Lynn’s barrister Dermot Dann KC flagged his client would be appealing the murder conviction.
Dann maintained that position after Justice Michael Croucher sentenced Lynn on October 18.
The appeal against Lynn’s conviction and sentence will be heard in the Victorian Court of Appeal at a later date.
