Victorian Alps
| Victorian Alps consists of a series of high plateaus and peaks along the Great Dividing Range. The Palaeozoic deposits predominantly of granitic and basaltic origin give rise to friable leached earths, loams and peaty soils (Tenosols and Organosols). The vegetation associated with the subalpine plateaus are Sub-alpine Woodland, Treeless Sub-alpine Mosaic and Sub-alpine Grassland ecosystems and the upper slopes and generally surrounding sub-alpine areas are dominated by Montane Dry Woodland, Montane Damp Forest, Montane Wet Forest and Montane Grassy Woodland ecosystems.
