Mallee (region of Victoria)

The Mallee is a sub-region of Loddon Mallee covering the most north-westerly part of Victoria, Australia, bounded by the South Australian and New South Wales borders. Definitions of the south-eastern boundary vary; all are based on the historic Victorian distribution of mallee eucalypts, which dominate the surviving native vegetation through most of Mallee. Its biggest settlements are Mildura and Swan Hill.

The Mallee is characterised by low, inconsistent precipitation, high summer temperatures and infertile soils, with it being described as semi-desert. The region is also known as the Victorian outback.

An area of South Australia immediately to the west of the Victorian Mallee region, also once covered with mallee scrub, is known as the Murray Mallee.
