A study of the South Gippsland koala population by Dr Bronwyn Houlden, has
found that the Strzelecki Ranges has the highest level of genetic variation
of any Victorian population she has analyzed.¹ They are genetically distinct
from the koalas originating from French Island, and which have been translocated
into other parts of Victoria. Dr. Houlden has stated that the conservation
of South Gippsland and Strzelecki Ranges population is of local, State and National
significance for conservation of biodiversity in koalas¹.
