[edit] Regional definition

I am looking for authorative sources for a regional definition.

In passing the National Geographic references the 867 Terrestrial ecoregions of the world. South eastern NSW is covered by

• Australian Alps montane grasslands (AA1001) [1]
• Southeast Australia temperate forests (AA0409) [2]
• Southeast Australia temperate savanna (AA0803) [3]
• Map is at [4]. I think 867 regions seems not sufficiently precise for our purposes of regional definition.--A Y Arktos\^talk 22:41, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Does not make sense

The "south west slopes" region is a region of New South Wales, not Victoria. If it is regarded as a bioregion ( rather than some other type of region ), the part of Victoria contiguous with the "south west slopes" region of New South Wales, would be the area around Wodonga and Wangaratta. This is north-east Victoria, not western Victoria as the article current states. Eregli bob 07:51, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
