Strzelecki Ranges

The Strzelecki Ranges ( ; Polish pronunciation:) is a range of low mountains 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.

They also form a biogeographic subregion of the South Eastern Highlands. "Land of the Lyrebird" is also a common alternative name for the Strzelecki Ranges based on a popular 1920s book.
