The Strzelecki/South Gippsland Koala is the most important koala population remaining in Victoria and South Australia. The Strzelecki Ranges generally run east-west and extend for roughly 100 km. Visit Wilpena Round, the natural amphitheatre and St Mary's Peak, the tallest peak of the range. For more detailed mapping, please download the boundary KML.There are approximately 689 lacustrine/palustrine wetlands in this region.Areas do not include marine or estuarine waters but do include estuarine wetland vegetationAll statistics are approximate and generated based on data transformed to a customised Albers equal-area projection, thus allowing wetland extent change for different regions of Queensland to be comparable.Areas may change over time as mapping approaches improve.Totals may not match the sum of individually displayed figures due to the rounding of displayed figures. Significant areas of hardwood plantings on the steeper areas have been reserved for environmental purposes, particularly in the major gullies.Meanwhile, there was growing disquiet from environment and community groups about the clearing of native forests and conversion to pines, together with the use of chemical sprays.Subsequent Land Conservation Council reviews, beginning in the 1970s, restricted the areas of new softwood plantations on public land and by 1987 degraded farmland was being purchased for the PX program and the clearing of native forest halted.The entire FCV plantation estate was transferred to the State owned entity, the In August 2001, Hancock Victoria Plantations consolidated its plantation holdings by purchasing the assets of Australian Paper Plantations for over A$150 million. Small sawmills such as the Duff sawmill operated in the higher part of the Strzeleckis until the timber became too difficult to extract.In what is believed to be the largest, most sustained and expansive reforestation project of its type in Australia the Before the end of the Second World War, the Forests Commission began making additional plans to reforest and rehabilitate the Strzeleckis and establish a timber supply.
Tassie, Tarra Valley and Macks Creek) and the West map covers Morwell National Park to Tarra Bulga National Park and Balook, via the Jumbuk Rest Area (known as the ‘Park to Park’ walk).
The company announced the formation of a subsidiary company, APM Forests Ltd, in 1951 and planned an enormous reforestation scheme to supply softwood and hardwood pulp to the mill. They are composed of deeply dissected sandstone and mudstone, rising from 300 to 500 metres, with the highest point at Mount Tassie being 740 metres. He is noted for his contributions to the exploration of Australia, particularly the Snowy Mountains and Tasmania as well as climbing and naming the highest mountain on the continent – Mount Kosciuszko.
They are composed of deeply dissected sandstone and mudstone, rising from 300 to 500 metres, with the highest point at Mount Tassie being 740 metres. EVCs attempt to break down the natural landscape into a number of vegetation types and the EVC map colour codes these vegetation types.
