Are there rainforests in Australia

Answer 1

Yes, there are rainforests in Australia, tropical, subtropical and temperate. The largest rainforests in Australia by far are the cool-temperate rainforests of Tasmania characterised by their cooler mountain climates. One particular Tasmanian rainforest is the second largest temperate rainforest in the world and the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. The tropical rainforests of northern Queensland are some of the wettest places in the world despite the common belief that Australia is just a desert.

Australia has numerous rainforests. There are huge tracts of rainforest all along the eastern coast of Australia, following the Great Dividing Range south. Queensland is especially well known for its rainforests, from Cairns in the north and inland, right down through to the Gold Coast hinterland. The Northern Territory is home to numerous rainforests covering hundreds of hectares. Western Australia's Kimberley Region contains more than 1500 small scattered patches of rainforest.

Some of the better known rainforests are listed below, but these form just a small selection of the total.

• Daintree National Park - North Queensland (where the rainforest meets the reef) This is arguably the oldest rainforest in the world.
• Russell Falls - Mt Field National Park, Tasmania
• Tara Bulga National Park - Strzelecki Ranges, Victoria
• Florence Falls - Lichfield national Park, Northern Territory

Answer 2

There are no jungles in Australia, as that is not what Australians call thick rainforest or humid bushland. There are numerous pockets of rainforests throughout the eastern and northern coast.

Answer 3

Australia, the sixth largest country in the world, (by land mass), consists of six states and a number of territories. The further inland you travel into the centre of 'Oz' the more barren the land becomes. There are thousands of miles of vast grazing areas for cattle and there are extended desert areas, such as the route between Alice Springs and Ayers Rock, or the Nullarbor Plain. In some Aboriginal languages, 'nulla' means 'none or nothing' The Nullarbor is the largest block of limestone on earth, which rose from the sea approximately three-million years ago. There are no trees because the soil us so calcium rich mainly from sea-shells.

An abundance of forest may be found along the eastern states, such as Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and small parts of South Australia. But as for the Northern Territory and the great stretch across Western Australia, where the longest straight piece of railway track in the world exists, it's predominantly barren, except for the occasional billabong, scrub brush, eucalyptus bushes, kangaroos and wallabies.
