"A Study of the Land in the Tyers River Catchment" was prepared by former Soil Conservation Authority (SCA) and published in 1975. The Tyers River Catchment is a small part of the extensive mountainous region in eastern Victoria, and it lies towards the southern boundary of the region in West Gippsland. There is a wide range in altitude, from 1550 m above sea level at the northern end of the catchment down to about 150 m at the southern end. The SCA carried out this survey to obtain basic information about features of the natural environment and their interactions. Six land-units were mapped and described to provide a basis for considering uses, potentials and management problems.
