The North Central CMA region covers an area of around
30,000 km²; about 13% of Victoria. It is bordered by the
mighty Murray River to the north, which injects life into the
land around it, the Great Dividing Range and Wombat State
Forest to the south and Mt Camel Range to the east.
The region is packed with an abundance of diverse natural
attractions from forested national parks to waterfalls, gorges,
slowly meandering waterways and wetlands of international
significance. Our backyard is home to a teeming assortment
of flora and fauna, some of which are found nowhere else.
The four major river catchments in our region include the
Campaspe, Loddon, Avoca and Avon-Richardson; they are
the lifeblood to the region and its people. They have helped
shape, grow and sustain communities including Bendigo,
Bridgewater, Donald, Echuca, Kerang, Kyneton and Swan
Hill.
Twelve species of indigenous frogs are known to the
region, including two threatened species listed under the
Victorian Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988; the Growling
Grass Frog (Litoria raniformis) and the Bibron’s Toadlet
(Pseudophryne bibronii). less ↑
