The 'Wet Tropics'
North-eastern Australia is very diverse because it is jam packed full of very close, but very different, ecosystems and their smaller vegetation communities; coral reefs, sea grass communities, mangroves, beaches, rocky shores, wet schlerophyll forest, tropical open forests and woodlands. The terrestrial part of north-eastern Queensland is known as the 'Wet Tropics', with one of Australia's most beautiful towns, Cairns, at it's centre. The 'Wet Tropics' has, as the name suggests, Australia's highest rainfall and thus supports the continent's main tropical rainforest.
