There are very few true grasslands left in Australia, but they are still known as grasslands. The term "savannah" is not widely used, but it does refer to the grasslands in the more sub-tropical inland of northern Australia.

There are huge areas of grass in Australia. Many of these grasses have been introduced from overseas, however, after the wholesale felling of forests, which is still going on today.

Australia used to have large areas of natural grasslands. Due to farming and land clearing, these native grasslands have now been reduced to just 4% of their original total coverage.

When Lawson, Blaxland and Wentworth became the first successful explorers to traverse the Blue Mountains, they saw grasslands on what became known as the Bathurst Plains, on the other side of the mountains. They described them as "sufficient to serve the colony for the next fifty years" - and that's only what they could see with the naked eye.

Australia is home to temperate grassland.

True grassland is now the most threatened habitat in Australia, with only 1% of the original habitat surviving. Some of this may be found in the subalpine regions of the Kosciuszko National Park, from the southern edge of the ACT, southwest across the border of NSW and Victoria, to the Mt Buffalo and Alpine National Parks. Tropical tallgrass is found in areas of the Top End and northern Queensland, and some degree of grassland remains in the mid-west of NSW and Victoria, and the southern areas of South Australia.

The grasslands of Australia do not have any particular name. Unlike Africa, they are not called the savanna, though there is a particular type of tropical savanna in the north.

For the most part, Australia is home to temperate grassland. However, true grassland is now the most threatened habitat in Australia, with only 1% of the original habitat surviving. Some of this may be found in the subalpine regions of the Kosciuszko National Park, from the southern edge of the ACT, southwest across the border of NSW and Victoria, to the Mt Buffalo and Alpine National Parks. Tropical tallgrass is found in areas of the Top End and northern Queensland, and some degree of grassland remains in the mid-west of NSW and Victoria, and the southern areas of South Australia.

Incidentally, Australia's grassland is NOT known as "the Bush". This is a quite different habitat entirely.
