      The Cobberas Range is a mountain range in north-eastern Victoria in Australia.[1] The range is located in the Cobberas Wilderness area of the Alpine National Park.[2]

      Peaks include:

      • Mount Cobberas No. 1
      • Mount Cobberas No. 2
      • Moscow Peak
      • Middle Peak
      • Cleft Peak[1]

      In January 1854, Victorian Government Botanist Ferdinand von Mueller passed through the area on the second of his three expeditions to the Alps. He collected a large number of plants, many of which had not been previously recorded.[3]
