Summary During the autumn of 1959 a wide‐spread outbreak of a disease similar to that known as facial eczema in New Zealand occurred in Eastern Victoria. High minimum air temperatures associated with 50 points of rain are considered to have assisted in the development of pasture toxicity. The clinical and pathological observations in this facial eczema outbreak are described. Pathogenicity tests with the fungus Sporidesmium baked, isolated from Gippsland pastures, produced liver damage similar to that of facial eczema in one lamb.
