whereas non-breeding birds often forage
over the continental slopes around
Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales.
Their post-breeding northern dispersal is
restricted to the temperate shelf waters of
New Zealand, Australia and the central and
western Pacific Islands (Environment
Australia, 2001)

 

AMPHIBIANS
Litoria olongburensis Wallum Sedge Frog Vv Restricted to densely vegetated areas
{wallum) in the coastal lowlands of south-
east Queensland, the wallum sedgefrag is.
most common in swamps but is also known
from creeks and reed beds around
freshwater lakes. {n all seasons the species
can be found seeking refuge in swamps
amongst sedges, reeds and fems
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2008).

 

 

INSECTS
Phyilodes imperialis (southem subsp. | a moth E The southem subspecies of the moth

- ANIC3333) Phyitodes imperialis has been only found at
a limited number of locations (5-6) in south-
eastern Queenstand and north-eastern
NSW. It occurs in lower montane rainforest.
Larvae have been found feeding on the
vine, Carronia multisepaiea, in its shrub-like
form and it is thought that breeding habitat is
restricted to areas of undisturbed old growth
talnforest that contain this vine in south-
eastern Queensland and north-eastern
NSW (Threatened Species Scientific
Committee, 2002).

 

 

MAMMALS
Chalinolobus dwyeri Large-eared Pied Bat, Vv Large-eared pied bats roost in caves, mines
Large Pied Bat and unused bird nests. They roost together
in small groups during spring and summer
and hibernate in colder months.. Little else
is known of their ecology (Australian
Museum, 1999)

Potorous tridactylus tridactylus Long-nosed Potoroo (SE | V Generally restricted to higher altitudes and
maintand) areas with annual rainfall of greater than
760mm. Also inhabits coastal heath and dry
and wet sclerophy!l with thick ground
cover.(Strahan,1983}

Pteropus poliocephalus Grey-headed Flying-fox Vv Roost high in trees, especially mangroves,
in Vic, NSW, coastal Qid to Rockhampton.
Feeds on fruits, blossoms and nectar. (Qld
Museum, 1995).

Xeromys myoides False Water Rat Vv In a variety of well-watered habitats
Including mangroves, freshwater lagoons -
and sedged lakes close to foredunes.
Follows established pathways, feeding,
sheltering and resting in hollows usually at
the base of Grey Mangrove (Strahan, 1983).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

REPTILES
Coeranoscincus reticulatus Three-toed Snake-tooth v Ralnforest and occasionally molst eucalypt
Skink forest, on loamy or sandy soils. The Three-

toed Snake-tooth Skink lives in loose soil,
leaf litter and rotting logs, and feeds on
earthworms and beetle grubs Department of
environment and conservation NSW, 2005

PLANTS

Baloghia marmorata _Marbled Baloghia v Marbled Balogia has a geographically

disjunct distribution confined to the Lismore
district, in north-east NSW, and the
Tamborine Mountains and Springbrook, in
south-east Queensland. Marbled Balogia is
found in subtropical rainforest/notophyll vine
forest and wet sclerophyil forest (brush box
woodland) with rainforest understorey
between 150 and 550 m above sea level
Associated species can include Eucalyptus
microcorys, Archontophoenix
