The Victorian Alps, also known locally as the High Country, is a large mountain system in the southeastern Australian state of Victoria. Occupying the majority of eastern Victoria, it is the southwestern half of the Australian Alps (the other half being the Snowy Mountains), the tallest portion of the Great Dividing Range. The Yarra and Dandenong Ranges, both sources of rivers and drinking waters for Melbourne (Victoria's capital, largest city and home to three quarters of the state's population), are branches of the Victorian Alps.

  • Los Alpes Victorianos son una extensa cadena montañosa que forma la parte sur de los Alpes Australianos ubicada en el estado australiano de Victoria, y que a su vez forma parte de la Gran Cordillera Divisoria, una subregión Biogeográfica Provisional para Australia de aproximadamente 519 866 hectáreas (1 284 620 acres), y una subregión administrativa que limita con las regiones de Gippsland y Hume.​ (es)
  • The Victorian Alps, also known locally as the High Country, is a large mountain system in the southeastern Australian state of Victoria. Occupying the majority of eastern Victoria, it is the southwestern half of the Australian Alps (the other half being the Snowy Mountains), the tallest portion of the Great Dividing Range. The Yarra and Dandenong Ranges, both sources of rivers and drinking waters for Melbourne (Victoria's capital, largest city and home to three quarters of the state's population), are branches of the Victorian Alps. The promise of gold in the mid-1800s, during the Victorian Gold rush led to the European settlement of the area. The region's rich natural resources brought a second wave of agricultural settlers; the foothills around the Victorian Alps today has a large agrarian sector, with significant cattle stations being sold recently for over thirty million dollars. The Victorian Alps is also the source of many of Victoria's water ways, including Murray and Yarra Rivers and the Gippsland Lakes. The valleys beneath the high plains are surrounded by wineries and orchards because of this abundance water. The region is also home to Victoria's largest national park, the Alpine National Park, which covers over 646,000 hectares (1,600,000 acres). The establishment of the Alpine National Park has meant that economic activities such as mining, logging and agriculture are limited, to preserve the natural ecosystem for visitors. Tourism within the region centres around snow sports in winter and various outdoor activities during the summer months. The Australian Alps is an Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia sub-bioregion of approximately 519,866 hectares (1,284,620 acres), and an administrative sub-region of Victoria bordering the Gippsland and Hume regions.

  • Викторианские Альпы (англ. Victorian Alps) — горный хребет на юго-востоке австралийского штата Виктория. Представляет собой юго-западную часть Австралийских Альп (другая половина — Снежные горы), самую высокую часть Большого Водораздельного хребта. Высочайшая точка — гора Богонг (1986 м). Ответвления Викторианских Альп хребты Ярра и Данденонг являются источниками рек и питьевой воды в Мельбурне. Золотая лихорадка в Виктории в 1850—1860-х годах привела к заселению этой территории европейцами. Богатые природные ресурсы региона привели вторую волну сельскохозяйственных поселенцев. В предгорьях вокруг Викторианских Альп в настоящее время находится крупный аграрный сектор. Викторианские Альпы также являются источником многих водных путей Виктории, включая реки Муррей и Ярра и озёра Гиппсленд. Предгорные долины окружены винодельнями и садами благодарю обилию воды. В регионе также находится крупнейший национальный парк Виктории, Альпийский национальный парк, который занимает площадь более 646 тыс. га. Создание Альпийского национального парка ограничило местную экономическая деятельность, такую как добыча полезных ископаемых, лесозаготовки и сельское хозяйство, ограничена, чтобы сохранить естественную экосистему. Туризм в регионе сосредоточен вокруг зимних видов спорта и различных мероприятий на свежем воздухе в летние месяцы. (ru)
