Gondwana Rainforest
The Gondwana rainforest is a unique and ancient ecosystem located in eastern Australia. It is considered one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth, containing over 200,000 different species of plants and animals!
The rainforest is named after the ancient supercontinent of Gondwana, which existed around 180 million years ago and is believed to have been the birthplace of this forest. The Gondwana rainforest is home to a wide variety of rare and endangered species, including the iconic platypus and the elusive spotted-tailed quoll.
It is also home to many ancient plant species, some of which have remained unchanged for millions of years. The Gondwana rainforest is a vital part of Australia's natural heritage and is protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage site.
