About the region

The Cobberas Range is a remote area in the Victoria Alpine national park, close to the NSW border. The Cobberas area is in the East Alps Unit of the Alpine National Park, which is in the remote mountains of Victoria's East Gippsland region, adjacent to the Snowy River National Park. The Cobberas Range itself is just south of the NSW border, so too far for a day trip for most members. We tend to organise weekend activities where you can camp out with other members, or stay in Omeo or Gelantipy and travel out for a day.

Features of the area include - magnificent peaks, rare and threatened flora and fauna, magnificent Alpine Ash forests, sub-alpine herbfields, snowgum woodland and snowgrass plains, pristine rivers and streams, historic huts, the list goes on.
