Anglesea Heath
Anglesea Heath is a 72 km2 area of natural heath, woodland and forest in Victoria, south-eastern Australia. It is about 100 km south-west of Melbourne, and is just north and west of the coastal town of Anglesea. Accessible via the Great Ocean Road, the Heath comprises 67 km2 of land managed for conservation, and 5 km2 of land used for coal mining and power generation by Alcoa Australia, at its Anglesea Power Station.
Anglesea Heath is subject to a cooperative management agreement between the Secretary of the Department of Sustainability and Environment, Victoria and Alcoa, and is managed by Parks Victoria. The Heath is notable for its floristic value,[1][2] and is listed on the Australian Register of the National Estate for its botanical value.
