What is the flora of Queensland?

Answer 1

The flora of Queensland varies tremendously. In the far north are dense rainforests, with ancient cycads, thick, curling vines and lianas, orchids and ferns, as well as other rainforest plants.

Along the coast the flora changes from coastal heath, casuarinas and coastal bushland, including melaleucas and leptospermum. Moving inland a little, the flora varies between wet sclerophyll and dry sclerophyll, mulga bushland and eucalyptus bushland.

In the southeast is temperate rainforest and eucalyptus bushland, while a little further inland are found native pines such as the gigantic Bunya pines, and hoop pines. It moves into drier brigalow scrub further west.

the Cooktown orchid is the flora and the koala is the fauna
