Geography
The region varies greatly in altitude, ranging from 420 m at the valley floor near Tooma to 1,375 m at Pilot Reef Mountain. State forest (chiefly Eucalyptus delegatensis and pinus radiata) as well as semi-cleared, undulating grazing land characterise the area.

Climate
The climate here is that of a cold rainforest, particularly in the cooler months of the year. Although high summer to mid autumn is relatively dry, springs are characterised by frequent and severe thunderstorms. Sleet and graupel are very common occurrences throughout the year (at times even in early summer) and snow often falls heavily in the winter and spring months. Low, heavy cloud dominates the winter skies. Seasonal range is especially great about the maximum temperatures, from 26 C in January to just 7 C in July.

Climate data are sourced from an altitude of 981 m at Hunters Hill across the border into Victoria, operating since 1993.
