BYRON FLORA AND FAUNA STUDY, 1999 23. MYOCUM-DINGO LANE The Myocum-Dingo Lane area has been extensively cleared and the remaining vegetation was highly fragmented. However, a portion of the area, incorporating a ridge containing moist sclerophyll forest, has been identified as a potential corridor linking the core habitat areas on the coast (Tyagarah and Myocum east) with the core habitat areas in the hinterland (Goonengerry-Wilsons Creek). Threatened flora species Ball Nut Durobby Fragrant Myrtle 24. MYOCUM EAST Myocum east contained a diversity of vegetation associations including swamp sclerophyll forest, subtropical rainforest, moist to wet sclerophyll forest and Brush Box forest (Map 3). The area also contained old growth eucalypt forest (Map 5). Myocum east has been identified as an integral part of a potential corridor linking the coastal corridor with the core habitat areas in the hinterland. Threatened flora species Durobby Rough-shelled Bush Nut Threatened fauna species Common Planigale Koala 25. ANDERSONS RIDGE Andersons Ridge contained a diversity of vegetation associations including swamp sclerophyll forest, banksia shrubland, subtropical rainforest and moist to wet sclerophyll forest (Map 3). The area also contained old growth eucalypt forest (Map 5). Andersons Ridge forms part of a coastal vegetation corridor. Threatened flora species Arrow-head vine Basket Fern Corokia – only recorded location in the study area Durobby Stinking Cryptocarya Threatened fauna species Powerful Owl – two recorded locations in the study area Koala Common Blossom-bat Yellow-bellied Sheathtail-bat – three recorded locations in the study area Little Bentwing-bat Large-footed Myotis 26. UPPER COOPERS CREEK Upper Coopers Creek contained a high diversity of vegetation associations. Brush Box forest and wet to moist sclerophyll forest were found on the hill slopes with subtropical rainforest occurring in the gullies and other sheltered areas. Dry sclerophyll forest occurs on the upper slopes and in exposed situations. Riparian rainforest fringes the creek. Upper Coopers Creek contained areas of old growth eucalypt forest, important habitat for hollow-dependent Threatened fauna species such as the Sooty Owl. There were ten recorded Koala locations within the area (Table 8.1). Upper Coopers Creek recorded the highest number of Threatened fauna species in Byron Shire reflecting long term survey effort in an area that was in close proximity to Whian Whian SF (now part Nightcap National Park) and Goonengerry NP and Snows Gully NR. The area has been identified as containing core native vegetation. 239
A GREENPRINT FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE Threatened flora species Arrow-head vine Red Boppel Nut Red Lilly Pilly Rusty Rose Walnut Threatened fauna species Pouched Frog Loveridge’s Frog – three recorded locations in the study area Stephen’s Banded Snake – five recorded locations in the study area Black Bittern Bush-hen Wompoo Fruit-dove Superb Fruit-dove – four recorded locations in the study area Rose-crowned Fruit-dove Glossy Black-cockatoo Powerful Owl – two recorded locations in the study area Sooty Owl Marbled Frogmouth – eight recorded locations in the study area Albert’s Lyrebird White-eared Monarch Barred Cuckoo-shrike – six recorded locations in the study area Koala – high number Yellow-bellied Glider – one recorded location in the study area Long-nosed Potoroo Red-legged Pademelon Common Blossom-bat Eastern Tube-nosed Bat – eight recorded locations in the study area Golden-tipped Bat – two recorded locations in the study area Little Bentwing-bat Snows Gully NR contained a number of Threatened flora species that may also occur on private lands in the Upper Coopers Creek area (see list below). The threatened fauna species recorded on private lands in Upper Coopers Creek have also been recorded in Snows Gully NR. SNOWS GULLY NR Threatened flora species Minyon Quandong Red Boppel Nut Red Lilly Pilly Rusty Plum Smooth Davidson’s Plum Southern Ochrosia 27. GOONENGERRY-TIBIAN VALLEY Goonengerry-Tibian 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. Dry sclerophyll forest was found on the upper slopes and in exposed situations. Riparian rainforest fringes the creek. Goonengerry-Tibian Valley contained areas of old growth eucalypt forest, important habitat for hollow-dependent Threatened fauna species such as the Sooty Owl. 35 Koala locations were recorded for this area, sharing with Wilsons Creek (also 35) the highest number of records for any area in Byron Shire. The area has been identified as containing core native vegetation (Table 8.1). 240
