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.

Tasmania contains the second largest cool temperate rainforest in the world - the Tarkine, which is also the largest temperate rainforest 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.
