Plants and Animals

This content is currently under review. Statistics are from 1990.

At the time of European settlement the range of species included 85 mammals, 367 birds, 151 reptiles, 24 frogs and 20 fish. Although some have become extinct and others are threatened, the biodiversity of the region makes it one of Australia's most important. The following pages present just some of these diverse species (note that the wildlife pages contain a large number of graphics).
