Acrothamnus montanus, also known as snow beard heath,[citation needed] is a native Australian bushy shrub commonly found in sub-alpine to alpine areas of southeast Australia.

[8] Acrothamnus montanus is distributed in sub-alpine and alpine areas across the Australian states of New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania.

[8][1] In Victoria, the species has been found in the East Gippsland Uplands, Highlands Northern Fall, Monaro Tablelands and the Victorian Alps.

[5]A study about the impacts of global warming on alpine vegetation noted that Acrothamnus montanus shows high uncertainty for future landscape cover estimates.

[10] Burramys parvus, or the Mountain Pygmy-possum, habituates in dense alpine rock across southern Victoria and Kosciuszko National Park (New South Wales).
