It is the policy of the Government that most of the State's alpine area will be proclaimed as an Alpine National Park, which would complement the Kosciusko National Park in N.S.W.. This is yet to be achieved (1987), however there is a need for sound, efficient and coordinated management based on the area's natural features, values and uses. Planning is proceeding on this basis.Victoria's alpine area is one of the State's most outstanding and spectacular natural areas. It is noted for its diverse plant and animal life, scenery, recreation opportunities and as a water catchment. This country is at the upper end of the Kiewa Valley and the planning for it is of interest to the Kiewa Valley inhabitants.White bound book with green print for title at the top, black & white picture and black print at the bottom for the name of the government authority publishing the book.143 pages with fold out map after page 7.

A volume of 114 pages including 4 pages of coloured plates, maps and Illustrations by Katrina Sandiford. It was aimed at secondary students studying the geography of Alpine regions.non-fictionThe Mountain Pygmy possum or Burramys was known only from fossils until 1966, when the first living specimen was found hiding among fire wood at the University Ski Lodge on Mt Higginbotham, Victoria. The story of this species is a case study in conservation and ecology. Coming back from extinction, this tiny species is the only mammal restricted to the Australian Alps. It is found in Kosciusko National Park (NSW), and between Mt Bogong, Mt Higginbotham and at Mt Buller in Victoria. After years of patient research, the authors describe in this book everything that is known about the Burramys, from its physiology, mating habits and behaviour to how we can best manage and protect its habitat from human activities in the ski fields.environment victoria, australian endangered species, mountain pygmy possum
