giganteus waters including coastal southeast
Queenstand (Slater ef a/., 1989). Unlikely
Numenius Easter Curlew The eastem curlew is found on mudflats and
. madagascariensis sandflats, often with beds of seagrass, on

sheltered coasts, mangrove swamps, bays,
harbours and lagoons. At high tide, they
move to saltpans, sand dunes and other
open areas where they roost above the high
water. For this reason, the eastern curlew
needs two types of habitat in order to
survive, one within the tidal zone, and one
above it (Environmental Protection Agency,
2008). - Unlikely

 

Poephila cincta
cincta

Black-Throated Finch
(White-Rumped
Subspecies)

The BTF southern subspecies Inhabits
grassy woodland dominated by eucalypts,
paperbarks or acacias and where there is
accessibility to seeding grasses. Recent
records from Queensland and northem New
South Wales suggest that riparian habitat is
particularly important as these seem to
provide shelter within a highly fragmented
and modified environment (Environmental
Protection Agency, 2008). - Unlikely

 

Rostratula australis

Australian Painted
Snipe

Nomad in marshes especially in north and
eastern Australia. (Slater et af, 1992). -
Unlikely

 

Stemula albifrons

Little Tern

Coasts sometimes inland watercourses
(Simpson and Day, 1996). Unlikely

 

mammals

Phascolarctos
cinereus (southeast
Queensland
bioregion)

Koala (Southeast
Queensland
Bioreglon)

Widely distributed on either side of the Great
Dividing Range. Dependant on Eucalypt
species with a marked local and regional
preference of species (Strahan, 1998). -
Potential

 

Plants

Acacia baueri subsp.
bauer

Multi-stemmed, spindly shrub to 50cm tall.
Occurs in sandy sometimes waterlogged
soils (Logan River Branch SGAP (Qld
Region), 2005). Potential

 

Blandfordia
grandiflora

Christmas Bells

A tufted lily found in wet heath (Logan River
Branch SGAP (Qld Region), 2005). -
Potential

 

Cryptocarya foetida

Stinking Cryptocarya

Coastal south-east Queensland and north-
east NSW south to Iluka. Found in littoral
rainforest, usually on sandy soils, but mature
trees are also known on basalt soils (DEC
(NSW), 2005). - Potential

 

Glycine argyrea

Perennial climbing herb - Potential

 

Marsdenia hemiptera

Rusty Vine

Grows In littoral rainforest and rarely in
subtropical rainforest (National Herbarium of
New South Wales, 2009). - Unilkely

 

Schoenus scabripes

Grows in wet heath in sandy soils (Botanic
Gardens Trust, 2008). - Unlikely

 

reptiles

 

Chelonia mydas

 

Green Turtle

 

 

Green turtles occur in seaweed-rich coral
reefs and inshore seagrass pastures in
tropical and subtropical areas of Australia.
Large numbers of greens occur tn suitable
feeding areas along the south-west coast of
the Gulf of Carpentaria. The entire Great
Barer Reef area is an important feeding
area for turtles which nest locally, as well as
for those which nest in other regions or
countries (Environmental Protection Agency,
2008) - Unlikely
