		It is a lush counterpoint to the deforested slopes of the Strzelecki Ranges I have driven through to get here, and it is the final remnant of a vast forest that once covered the ranges and defied the eponymous explorer "Count" Paul Strzelecki in 1840.
		Strzelecki was not the first European into the region - that honour belonged to Angus McMillan the previous year - but it was his name that lingered over the ranges.
		At the eastern end of the Strzelecki Ranges, south of Traralgon, Tarra Bulga provides a glimpse of Gippsland as Strzelecki would have seen it, coated in the cool temperate rainforest that is now confined to four places in Victoria: Tarra Bulga, the Otway Ranges, the Errinundra Plateau and the central highlands between Warburton and Marysville.

		She says those from the Strzelecki Ranges, in South Gippsland, are easy to pick: they are heavy and have big appetites.
		The so-called Strzelecki super-koala is genetically superior, and may hold the key to the species' long-term viability in Victoria, where inbreeding is rife.
		Strzelecki koalas are known to carry chlamydia, but Damien Higgins, of the University of Sydney's koala research group, said the disease was not common in stable, unstressed populations.

	Green Left - Rally to save the Strzelecki forests
		The rally is in response to the state Labor government's failure to keep its promises to “ensure full protection of all conservation areas in the Strzelecki ranges” and to “examine future opportunities for protection of native forest in the region”.
		Located between the Latrobe Valley and Wilson's Promontory, the Strzelecki ranges contain tracts of old growth and cool temperate rainforest.
		The Strzelecki ranges were largely unmapped until the state Liberal government sold the logging rights to the area to the US-based John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company in the 1990s.

	Petroleum system of the Gippsland Basin, Australia - Province Geology
		The Strzelecki Group is of Early Cretaceous age and was deposited in an east-west trending rift basin complex that began as a pre-breakup depression and failed rift approximately 130 Ma (Mehin and Bock, 1998).
		The Lower Cretaceous Strzelecki Group was deformed and eroded by a 96 Ma event that may have included compressional realignments of the breakup of Gondwana (Fig.
		Onshore in the northwest area, the Strzelecki Group is overlain by a series of Latrobe Group formations: an Eocene or Paleocene sandstone, Thorpdale Volcanics consisting of Eocene basaltic lavas, Oligocene to Miocene age nonmarine clastics, and Latrobe Valley Coal Measures (Mehin and Bock, 1998).

		The VPC legislation allowed the forests to be excised from the land and the leasehold, held in perpetuity, allows for harvesting and establishing of plantations on that land.
		The Strzeleckis is also home to the Strzelecki Koala, a genetically diverse strain of Koala from which other koala populations throughout south east Victoria have been sourced.
		As the Strzeleckis were replanted with indigenous trees between 1950 and 1980 (after massive clearing between 1880 and 1930) the Koalas in many instances have moved back into many planted areas.

	Koala Habitat Loss Strzelecki Ranges 2005
		Strzelecki koalas are a genetically superior group that may hold the key to the species' long-term survival in Victoria.
		The Strzelecki koalas, however, appear to be a remnant of the original and genetically diverse mainland population.
		Not only were all of the public and private Strzelecki reforestation projects classified in the report as plantations, but industry sources were quoted verbatim and their estimations of MAI (Mean Annual Increment) were used to predict unrealistic Strzelecki woodchip volumes.

		With great sadness, Bronwyn Teesdale describes the steeper slopes of the once magnificent Strzelecki Ranges in Victoria's South Gippsland as 'very eroded and pretty ugly'.
		But thanks to $676,700 in funding over four years from the Commonwealth Government's Natural Heritage Trust, the local community is putting life back into the Strzelecki Ranges and returning the land to its original beauty.
		As part of the project, Bronwyn, from Greening Australia, is involved in the planting and direct seeding of 500 hectares of native vegetation on the unstable and hard to access slopes to improve biodiversity, land stability and water quality.

		Little natural forest remains in much of the Strzelecki Ranges and lowlands of West Gippsland (South-eastern Highlands and South-east Coastal Plain bioregions) and planted areas (Landcare and commercial plantations) may form a major potential resource for wildife in the region.
		This project will assess habitat quality and establish the demographics of koala populations in two forest blocks in the Strzelecki Ranges.
		Each block will be chosen so as to represent a mosaic of vegetation types (planted and natural forest types, of various ages and species) with varying silviculural activities occurring within or adjacent to the blocks.

		From the 1870s, settlers cleared the land for dairy farming purposes in the western Strzelecki Ranges, leaving only a few scattered areas of forest.
		The rugged and steeper slopes of the eastern Strzelecki Ranges were opened for selection in the 1890s and settlers' cottages soon dotted the ridges.
		Due to the harsh conditions and the rugged nature of the land, many farms were abandoned or became neglected.

		Western Australia is better known for its footprint sites, one near Broome that has a wide range of dinosaur footprint types from small and large bipeds to huge sauropods, as well as what may have been a stegosaur hand print (since stolen from the site).

		For the past 12 years, he and a team of researchers have generated reports on topics as diverse as the demography of languages, foreign student enrolments, the shortage of doctors, and the issues surrounding immigration.
		On a cold night in the Strzeleckis, sitting before a log fire in his cottage, Birrell talks of the trials of academic life, of the changes that occurred after the Howard Government was elected in 1996.

	"Cores and Links" reserve proposal
		The Strzelecki Working Group (SWG) formed by the South Gippsland Shire and with conservation, Hancock Victorian Plantations and Shire representatives, commissioned the Strzelecki Ranges Biodiversity Study, which identified five high biodiversity Core Areas and habitat links joining the Gunyah Rainforest reserve to Tarra Bulga National Park and College Creek.
		I am writing on behalf of the Strzelecki Working Group to seek State Government support for the adoption and implementation of the key recommendations contained in the Strzelecki Ranges Biodiversity Study.
		For example, the Study focused on the middle region of the HVP estate in the Eastern Strzeleckis and therefore could not deal adequately with Bioregional reserve targets.

		In the earliest of times, the Gippsland ranges were densely forested, rarely visited by Indigenous people, disturbed only by rare fires that devastated the old and created new vigorous eucalypt forests.
		Then, in the 1840's came the European explorers (Strzelecki & McMillan) who gave the area their names as well as Bulga and Tarra reflecting the original inhabitants of this challenging country.
		Remnants of native forest are closely interspersed with Pine and Hardwood Plantations in the Strzelecki Ranges.

		Six years later, an area of 303 hectares in the Tarra Valley was temporarily reserved, though the eventual park was only 40 hectares in size.
		This park and the Tarra River were named after Charlie Tarra, an Aborigine who guided Strzelecki and his party through Gippsland in 1840.
		The story was different in the eastern Strzelecki Ranges, where slopes are steeper and the land higher and more rugged.
