O'Shannassy Catchment

Location WARBURTON VIC 3799 - Property No L10109 File Number L10109 Level National

[1/2] L10109 The Springs [2/2] L10109 The Springs

Statement of Significance

The O'Shannassy Catchment is considered to be of national botanical and zoological significance as it is one of the few areas left in Victoria where mature wet schlerophyll forests still exist over a large area and are not likely to be subjected to logging. Although the Tarra Valley and Bulga National Parks contain this type of forest they are probably too small to enable the maintenance of an undisturbed community and Sherbrooke Forest is subjected to very high tourist usage.
