The Border Ranges
“The world’s eyes are on Australia as the only developed nation with rainforest within its borders.”
This quote by a former State Premier, Neville Wran, gives an idea why the New South Wales rainforests were declared a World Heritage area in 1986. The listing is an unusual one because it represents not one geographical area but six separate rainforest centres. The Border Ranges National Park is one link in a chain of National Parks incorporating an ancient caldera and the giant, prehistoric volcano at its centre.
This nature feature has been prepared with a travel market in mind. The reader journeys with Esther into the subtropical rainforest with its profusion of strangler figs, rope-like lianas, buttressed trunks, palms, ferns, orchids and a myriad of other forms of green lushness. Esther’s encounters with the local wildlife make this nature feature amusing reading while remaining informative to travellers. It can be ordered now or it can be modified to your specific purposes, say as a habitat piece.
