East Gippsland Uplands
| East Gippsland Uplands consists of tablelands and mountains up to 1400 metres elevation. The geology stems from Palaeozoic deposits predominantly of granitic and sedimentary origin which give rise to red texture contrast soils (Kurosols and Chromosols) and brown and red friable earths (Dermosols, Kandosols and Ferrosols). The vegetation is dominated by Shrubby Dry Forest and Damp Forest on the upland slopes and Wet Forest ecosystems which are restricted to the higher altitudes; Grassy Woodland, Grassy Dry Forest and Valley Grassy Forest ecosystems are associated with major river valleys.
