Gippsland region The Gippsland region comprises four fire districts: South Gippsland, MacCalister and LaTrobe. The region has riverine plains, foothills and mountains, so it has a very varied climate. Annual average rainfall ranges from around 600 mm to 1,950 mm. The region usually has a wet winter—with snow in Alpine areas—and a hot, dry summer. The region has about 70 ecological vegetation classes (EVCs) ranging from wet heathland to shrubby dry forest and subalpine woodland. It is home to a diverse range of plants and animals, including some of the state’s threatened species.
