Noted for its scientific value and unusual landscape, the Long Forest is a small and isolated remnant of mallee vegetation only 50 kilometres from Melbourne. Long Forest Flora Reserve was established in 1981 to protect this unique bushland.
Flora & FaunaAbout 200 bird species have been recorded in the reserve. It is an important habitat for raptors such as the Wedge-tailed Eagle and Peregrine Falcon. Mammals include kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, echidnas, possums and gliders. In addition, there is a wide range of insects. There are 12 species of bullants found in the reserve, two of which occur nowhere else in Victoria.
