The Gondwana Rainforests, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Australia, encompass ancient subtropical rainforests celebrated for their exceptional biodiversity and evolutionary significance. Spanning rugged landscapes, these forests harbor remnants of Gondwana, the supercontinent from millions of years ago, with unique flora like Antarctic beech and rare fauna such as the Albert’s lyrebird. Towering trees, cascading waterfalls, and volcanic terrain create a dramatic backdrop, offering a living window into Earth’s distant past. This ecological gem stands as a testament to nature’s resilience and a critical hub for conservation efforts.
