Vegetation

The land is not mapped as containing remnant vegetation however, much of the property is
mapped as containing mosaics of high-value regrowth vegetation and this includes the
cabinet timber forestry area.

The main portion of the land including the Cabinet timber forestry area is mapped as the
mosaic Regional ecosystem RE12.11.10/12.11.3/12.11.12/12.11.2 (65/20/10/5). A regrowth
polygon of the Regional ecosystem 12.8.13 is mapped over the north-eastern portion of the
land and the south-western portion has a mosaic of 12.3.11/12.3.1/12.3.2 (40/40/20). These
Regional ecosystems are described below (see Figure 6 below): -

   RE12.3.1 - Complex to simple notophyll vine forest. Waterhousea floribunda is predominant
    fringing stream channels. Other species can include Cryptocarya hypospodia, C.
    obovata, C. triplinervis, Argyrodendron trifoliolatum, Ficus coronata, F. fraseri, F.
    macrophylla forma macrophylla, Aphananthe philippinensis, Elaeocarpus grandis,
    Grevillea robusta, Castanospermum australe and Syzygium francisii. Ficus racemosa and
    Nauclea orientalis in north of bioregion. Eucalyptus spp. emergents (e.g. E. grandis) and
    Araucaria cunninghamii; less commonly Agathis robusta may also be present. Occurs on
    Quaternary alluvial plains and channels. (BVG1M: 4b),
   RE12.3.2 - Eucalyptus grandis +/- E. microcorys, Lophostemon confertus tall open forest with
    vine forest understorey ('wet sclerophyll'). Patches of Eucalyptus pilularis sometimes present
    especially in vicinity of sedimentary rocks (e.g. around Palmwoods). Fringing streams and
    in narrow gullies in high rainfall areas. (BVG1M: 8a),
   RE12.3.11 - Eucalyptus tereticornis +/- E. siderophloia and Corymbia intermedia open forest
    to woodland. Corymbia tessellaris, Lophostemon suaveolens and Melaleuca
    quinquenervia frequently occur and often form a low tree layer. Other species present in
    scattered patches or low densities include Angophora leiocarpa, E. exserta, E. grandis, C.
    trachyphloia, C. citriodora subsp. variegata, E. latisinensis, E. tindaliae, E. racemosa and
    Melaleuca sieberi. E. seeana may be present south of Landsborough and Livistona decora
    may occur in scattered patches or low densities in the Glenbar SF and Wongi SF areas.
