                      FIGURE 5: Melaleuca wetland with sedge and fern understorey

In the upper, northern section the Melaleuca wetland transitions to a Melaleuca woodland (wallum
woodland) with a Melaleuca and Eucalypt canopy over a lower and mid strata of Mat rush
(Lomandra longifolia and L. multiflora), Weeping baeckea (Baeckea frutescens) and Hickory
wattle (Acacia penninervis) as shown in Figure 6. Rainforest/wet sclerophyll elements in the
northern section of the woodland include Silver sycamore (Cryptocarya glaucescens), Lilly pilly
(Syzygium sp), Canary beech (Polyalthia nitidissima) and Native tamarind (Diploglottis australis).
Non-native species are present in the canopy and understorey on the northern edge which adjoins
a number of private residential allotments.
