On the eastern colluvial slopes of the Grampians Range, the medium sized Moyston Salinity Province lies between the townships of Halls Gap and Stawell. Native vegetation is reasonably prevalent, particularly on the range slopes and along drainage lines. Features of this province are the fresh water lakes supplied from runoff from the slopes of the Grampians, some of which are seasonally dry. |
