Mount Elizabeth is a mountain to the east of Tambo Crossing in East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. It lies within the Mount Elizabeth Nature Conservation Reserve managed by Parks Victoria. [1] [2] The reserve, which covers 5,234 hectares (12,934 acres), was established in 1984. [3] The reserve is the only known location where the endangered plant species leafy nematolepis ( Nematolepis frondosa) occurs. [4] Other rare or vulnerable plant species found in the reserve include Tullach Ard grevillea ( Grevillea polychroma), outcrop guinea-flower ( Hibbertia hermanniifolia subsp. recondita), Mount Elizabeth hovea ( Hovea magnibractea), monkey mint-bush ( Prostanthera walteri) and leafless pink-bells ( Tetratheca subaphylla). [5] [6] [7] Fauna species of note include the lace monitor, yellow-tailed black cockatoo and gang-gang cockatoo. [8]
A sawmill was established by the Collins Brothers which was reported to be at full capacity in 1937. The harvested timbers included messmate ( Eucalyptus obliqua) and ash. Previously an access road had been created and a sawmill established on the river by the Gippsland Timber Company, however its output was minimal. [9]
