BYRON FLORA AND FAUNA STUDY, 1999 6. UPPER WILSONS CREEK Upper Wilsons Creek contained a high diversity of vegetation associations. Brush Box forest and wet to moist sclerophyll forest were found on the lower hill slopes with subtropical rainforest occurring in the gullies and sheltered hill slopes. Dry sclerophyll forest was found on the upper slopes and in exposed situations. Upper Wilsons Creek contained areas of old growth eucalypt forest, important habitat for hollowdependent threatened fauna species such as the Sooty Owl. The area has been identified as containing core native vegetation (Table 8.1). Only limited surveys were undertaken during the current study. Further surveys in Upper Wilsons Creek are likely to result in additional Threatened flora and fauna species records. Threatened flora species Red Lilly Pilly Rough-shelled Bush Nut Threatened fauna species Koala Red-legged Pademelon 7. SETTLEMENT RD-COOPERS LANE Settlement Rd-Coopers Lane contained a high diversity of vegetation associations. Brush Box forest and wet to moist sclerophyll forest was recorded on the lower hill slopes with subtropical rainforest occurring in the gullies and sheltered hill slopes. Dry sclerophyll forest was found on the upper slopes and in exposed situations. Settlement Rd-Coopers Lane contained areas of old growth eucalypt forest, important habitat for threatened fauna species such as the Sooty Owl. The area has been identified as containing core native vegetation (Table 8.1). Only limited surveys were undertaken during the current study. Further surveys in this area are likely to result in additional Threatened flora and fauna species records. Threatened flora species Davidson’s Plum Durobby Rough-shelled Bush Nut Threatened fauna species Pouched Frog Bush hen Albert’s Lyrebird 8. DURRUMBUL Durrumbul contained a high diversity of vegetation associations. Brush Box forest and wet to moist sclerophyll forest were found on the lower hill slopes with subtropical rainforest occurring in the gullies and sheltered hill slopes. Moist to dry sclerophyll forest was found on the upper slopes and in exposed situations. Durrumbul contained areas of old growth Eucalypt forest, important habitat for threatened fauna species such as the Sooty Owl. The area has been identified as containing core native vegetation (Table 8.1). Only limited surveys were undertaken during the current study. Further surveys in Durrumbul are likely to result in additional Threatened flora and fauna species records. Threatened flora species Davidson’s Plum Durobby Red Boppel Nut 9. CHINCOGAN MOUNTAINS The Chincogan Mountains area contained a high diversity of vegetation associations. Brush Box forest and wet to moist sclerophyll forest were found on the lower hill slopes with subtropical rainforest occurring in the gullies and sheltered hill slopes. Dry sclerophyll forest was found on the upper slopes and in exposed situations. Mt Chincogan was the only recorded location for the Endangered Giant Ironwood (Choricarpia subargentea) in NSW. Only limited surveys were undertaken during the current study. Further surveys in the Mt Chincogan area are likely to result in additional Threatened flora and fauna species records. 233
A GREENPRINT FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE Threatened flora species Arrow-head vine Davidson’s Plum Giant Ironwood Red Boppel Nut Fragrant Myrtle Spiny Gardenia Stinking Cryptocarya 10. HILANS CORNER Hilans Corner contained a high diversity of vegetation associations. Brush Box forest and wet to moist sclerophyll forest were found on the lower hill slopes with subtropical rainforest occurring in the gullies and sheltered hill slopes. Moist to dry sclerophyll forest was found on the upper slopes and in exposed situations. Hilans Corner contained small areas of old growth eucalypt forest, important habitat for hollow-dependant fauna species. The area has been identified as containing core native vegetation (Table 8.1). Hilans Corner contained a high number of Threatened flora species, reflecting intensive flora survey work in a species-rich area. The lack of Threatened fauna records probably reflects the limited fauna survey work in the area. Further surveys in the Hilans Corner area are likely to result in additional Threatened fauna species records. Threatened flora species Crystal Creek Walnut Davidson’s Plum Durobby Green-leaved Rose Walnut Red Lilly Pilly Rusty Rose Walnut Fragrant Myrtle Spiny Gardenia Stinking Cryptocarya 11. SMOKY VALLEY Smoky Valley contained a high diversity of vegetation associations. Brush Box forest and wet to moist sclerophyll forest were found on the lower hill slopes with subtropical rainforest occurring in the gullies and sheltered hill slopes. Moist to dry sclerophyll forest was found on the upper slopes and in exposed situations. Smoky Valley contained small areas of old growth eucalypt forest, important habitat for hollow-dependant fauna species. The area has been identified as containing core native vegetation (Table 8.1). Smoky Valley contained a high number of Threatened flora species, reflecting intensive flora survey work in a species-rich area. The lack of Threatened fauna records probably reflects the limited fauna survey work in the area. Further surveys in the Smoky Valley area may result in additional Threatened fauna species records. 234 Threatened flora species Crystal Creek Walnut Davidson’s Plum Durobby Green-leaved Rose Walnut Hairy Quandong – one of only two recorded locations for the study area.
