Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
The Gondwana Rainforests extend across the northeastern part of New South Wales (NSW) and the southeast corner of Queensland (QLD) in Australia. This extensive collection of rainforests is globally recognized for its stunning biodiversity and complex ecosystems, which are the result of an evolutionary history tracing back hundreds of millions of years. The rainforests are home to numerous rare and threatened species, and the plant life includes ancient trees similar to those that thrived during the Jurassic age. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore breathtaking landscapes ranging from cool temperate rainforests to warm subtropical varieties. Visitors can partake in diverse outdoor activities such as hiking through dense undergrowth, bird watching, and exploring the mesmerizing scenery of waterfalls and lush valleys. The area is also significant culturally and historically, with Aboriginal heritage providing an additional layer of depth to the visitor's experience.
