∙ 10y agoAustralia has numerous rainforests, but not all of them are named. Many areas along the eastern seaboard have significant rainforests, as do parts of northern Australia, the northwest and even Tasmania. Queensland is particularly well known for its rainforests, north around Cairns and inland, and extending right down through areas of Brisbane and the Gold Coast hinterland.
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)
- Russell Falls - Mt Field National Park, Tasmania
- Tara Bulga National Park - Strzelecki Ranges, Victoria
- Florence Falls - Lichfield national Park, Northern Territory

Gliders, of which there are six different species in Australia, live in bushland and rainforests in eastern and northern Australia. Habitat conditions preferred by gliders include rainforests and bushland (both wet and dry sclerophyll forest). They can adapt to cool-temperate climates, such as that found in the Tasmanian bushland, and warmer, humid bushland and rainforests of northern Australia. Most gliders are healthiest in drier eucalyptus bushland rather than moist rainforest. They prefer areas where there is a variety of Eucalypt species, and an understorey of acacias or wattles.
