Editing Strzelecki Ranges (section)

== Geography ==
The Strzelecki Ranges generally run east-west and extend for roughly 100&nbsp;km. They are composed of deeply dissected sandstone and mudstone, rising from 300 to 500 metres, with the highest point at Mount Tassie being 740 metres.

The north is bounded by the Latrobe River and the south by the coast dominated by [[Wilsons Promontory]], [[Corner Inlet Marine National Park|Corner Inlet]] and the [[Ninety Mile Beach, Victoria|Ninety-Mile beach]].

The Strzelecki Ranges presents a diverse range of landscapes that are difficult to simply categorise, but they are essentially in two parts: western and eastern.

The western ranges have been successfully cleared for agriculture and feature green rolling hills with small farms and settlements in the south like [[Korumburra]], [[Foster, Victoria|Foster]], and [[Leongatha]] and towns like [[Yarragon, Victoria|Yarragon]], [[Trafalgar, Victoria|Trafalgar]], [[Warragul]], [[Morwell, Victoria|Morwell]], and [[Traralgon]] in the north that extend along the Princes Highway.

The eastern Strzeleckis remain heavily forested with steep dissected ridges and valleys with high rainfall. The settlements that encircle the Ranges include [[Boolarra, Victoria|Boolarra]], [[Churchill, Victoria|Churchill]], and [[Gormandale, Victoria|Gormandale]] in the north and [[Toora, Victoria|Toora]] and [[Yarram, Victoria|Yarram]] in the south, while the eastern boundary is identified by [[Longford, Victoria|Longford]] and [[Sale, Victoria|Sale]].

The township of [[Mirboo North, Victoria|Mirboo North]] sits between the two parts, straddling the main ridge. The average annual temperature in Mirboo North ranges between a cool 12.8&nbsp;°C in winter and a temperate 26.6&nbsp;°C in summer, with annual rainfall averaging 1040&nbsp;mm.

The Strzelecki Ranges are so expansive they overlap five Local Government Areas. The western section primarily sits within [[Baw Baw Shire|Baw Baw]], [[South Gippsland Shire|South Gippsland]] and [[Bass Coast Shire|Bass Coast]] shires while the eastern portion is mostly within the [[City of Latrobe|City of LaTrobe]] and [[Shire of Wellington]].

In the east towards [[Sale, Victoria|Sale]], there are substantial tracts of state forest, including Won Wron and [https://www.ffm.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0017/26270/FS0053_-_Won_Wron_and_Mullungdung_State_Forests.pdf Mullungdung], [[Tarra-Bulga National Park]] and the [[Holey Plains State Park]]. Agnes Falls at [[Toora, Victoria|Toora]] which cascades over a series of rocks on a 59-metre drop are probably the best known. The large Hancock Victorian Plantation (HVP) estate is also in the east, whereas most of the western Strzeleckis is privately owned farmland.

The Ranges are very similar in formation and appearance to the [[Otway Ranges]] southwest of Melbourne.
