VictoriaAustraliaVictoria , Australia contains approximately 32,000 hectares ref http www.vicrainforest.org ref of temperate rainforest in various regions. The areas with rainforest include East Gippsland , Strzelecki Ranges , Wilsons Promontory , Central Highlands Victoria Central Highlands , and Otway Ranges . The rainforests vary between cool temperate, warm temperate, and mixed cool temperate. Protection In Victorian forests subject to timber harvesting operations rainforest is protected by the Code of Practice for Timber Production DSE 2007 , which requires that Rainforest communities in Victoria must not be harvested. Rainforest communities must be protected from the impacts of harvesting through the use of appropriate buffers to maintain microclimatic conditions and protect from disease and other disturbance. However, mixed cool temperate rainforest has not been completely mapped in Victoria, and no pre logging surveys occur to check for this forest type. Old growth forest, with trees dating from pre 1900s, are also meant to be protected. Victorian rainforests occurring inside national parks are protected from logging.
