The Strzelecki Ranges (/strɛzˈlɛki/ strehz-LECK-ee) is a set of low mountain ridges located in the West Gippsland and South Gippsland regions of the Australian state of Victoria.
The Ranges are named after Paweł Edmund Strzelecki, a Polish explorer, who with the assistance of Charley Tarra the small party's Aboriginal guide, led an expedition through this region in 1840.[3]
They also form a biogeographic subregion of the South Eastern Highlands.[4] "Land of the Lyrebird"[5] is also a common alternative name for the Strzelecki Ranges based on a popular 1920s book.[6]
