The rainforest
• North-eastern Australia is very diverse because it is full of very different ecosystems: coral reefs,
sea grass, mangroves, beaches, rocky shores, rain forest… The terrestrial part of north-eastern
Queensland is known as the 'Wet Tropic', with one of Australia's most beautiful towns, Cairns,
at its centre. The 'Wet Tropic' has Australia's highest rainfall and supports the continent's
main tropical rainforest
