Baw-Baw Plateau

Baw-Baw Plateau is an alpine region 100 km east of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Most of the plateau is part of the Baw Baw National Park. (Declared 1979, 133 square kilometres) It contains large areas of sub-alpine vegetation. It is popular for cross country skiing, downhill skiing, summer bushwalking, hunting, rafting and canoeing, fishing, scenic drives and picnics. Geographically, it is a plateau of several peaks (Mount Baw Baw, Mt. St. Gwinear, Mt. St. Phillack, Mt. Erica and Mt. Whitelaw) of largely subalpine terrane outcrops of weathered granite boulders dot the plateau with alpine meadows punctuated by stands of snow-gum. Fauna abounds on the foothills to the pateau: including Leadbeater's Possum, highly endangered and Victoria's state fauna emblem.
