The Gippsland Plains Grassy Woodland is an ecological temperate grassland community located in the Gippsland region in southern Victoria, Australia. Stretching from Bairnsdale in the east to the eastern portion of Melbourne in the west, they typify one of Victoria's most threatened and disconnected indigenous ecosystems. The Gippsland Red Gum Grassy Woodland is the most prominent community in the system situated in the centre.[1][2]
Situated in the South East Coastal Plain, the Gippsland grasslands consist of South Gippsland Plains Grassland (east), Central Gippsland Plains Grasslands (centre) and Forest Red Gum Grassy Woodland (west) in southern Victoria, where they border Victorian Volcanic Plain grasslands in the west.[3]
