[For information about the Strathbogie Ranges Conservation Management Network, go to http://www.strathbogieranges.org.au/]
This site aims to record biodiversity and natural history information from across the Strathbogie Ranges and surrounding districts and build an on-line resource – a collection of images, records and stories.

Where are we?
The Strathbogie Ranges are situated in North Eastern Victoria, Australia, surrounded by the townships of Benalla to the north-east, Seymour to the south-west and Yea and Merton to the south. Whilst the Ranges themselves are defined by two large and connected, elevated granitic landscapes, the Eastern and Western Strathbogie Ranges, the Strathbogie Ranges CMN area extends beyond the higher topography, to include all areas within the major Highways that surround the Ranges (Hume Fwy, Goulburn Valley Hwy, Maroondah Hwy, Midland Hwy). Notwithstanding this convenient boundary, any groups or individuals interested in the natural history and ecology of the region are welcome to join in.
forgot to mention, at Kallara campgrounds, boundary Hill Road, Boho South 🙂
I am just wondering if there is a local environmental/conservation expert who could lead a bush walk at a church camp on sat 5th or sun 6th Jan around 4.30pm with a focus on learning about the local environment, native ecosystems, weeds and other threatening processes and perhaps some indigenous land use perspectives
Love the Goanna shots, and the news that their numbers are increasing.
Good seasons upon good seasons have done that with the Duck populations in the Murray Darling Basin, so maybe something is happening along those lines with your Goannas.
Best wishes for the Summer Season.
