Appearance
The Gondwana Rainforests of Australia (CERRA) World Heritage Site is made up of a number of non-contiguous areas of national park and reserve land in northeastern New South Wales and South East Queensland. These rainforests are so called because the species found here existed hundreds of millions of years ago when Australia was part of the supercontinent Gondwana. They can be geographically grouped into 8 distinct regions:
