as significant areas of undisturbed hoop pine forest
(Araucaria cunninghamii). The mountainous landscape
represents the events of volcanic activity and weathering
processes which have shaped the region over the past 23
million years. Wildlife of conservation significance
includes; (a) locally unique sub-coastal population of
scribbly gum (Eucalyptus racemosa); (b) many
endangered, vulnerable or rare plants; (c) several
mammals which depend on the large size of this Park to
maintain viable populations; (d) insects with links to
early Gondwanic origin. The southern portion of
Lamington National Park comprises a significant area of
relatively undisturbed land and now provides relatively
high wilderness values.
The main feature of Lamington NP is its diversity. The
park has five forms of rainforest as well as open forest,
woodland and heath communities. Lamington NP is a
migration route and stopover for many bird species.

value as a habitat for native fauna.
Park is Australia's most important mainland turtle
rookery and is of international significance as it contains
the largest rookery in the South Pacific Region for
loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta), an endangered
