Statement of Significance
Remnant native vegetation at end of natural range
This is an isolated group of approximately 150 Eucalyptus botryoides (Southern Mahogany) located in the Gippsland Lakes area between Lake Wellington and Lake Victoria. They are significant because this small woodland is at the most westerly point in the natural distribution of this species. It is located on private rural property but also extends into an area of adjacent public land.
The trees arein an area dominated by Banksia serrata on the sandy rises and well spaced Eucalyptus tereticornis in the low lying areas and damp depressions. E. botryoides saplings and young trees in the B. serrata woodland indicate that the species is spreading to the south and southeast.
