This site, comprising several protected areas, is situated predominantly along the Great Escarpment on Australia’s east coast. The outstanding geological features displayed around shield volcanic craters and the high number of rare and threatened rainforest species are of international significance for science and conservation.
The Gondwana Rainforests of Australia are a serial property spread across many Queensland and New South Wales reserves. The federal heritage page says many reserves are readily accessible from major towns by sealed or graded gravel roads, but there is no single unified daily timetable for the whole UNESCO property.
