Landform: Ridges and upper slopes
General Condition: Vegetation type 3 was generally weed free and had few feral animal impacts. Fire had
affected most sites recently or in the past although patches of very rocky habitat supported some dry
monsoon thicket species and fire sensitive heath species such as Calytrix. Due to the cover of hummock
grass, fires are likely to be intense in this vegetation type.
Species of Conservation Significance: No species of conservation significance were encountered for this
vegetation type
