Our Environment: The Heart of Central Queensland
The natural environment of Central Queensland is a vibrant and diverse ecosystem, providing essential resources like clean water, air, food, and shelter. From the coastal waters of the Great Barrier Reef to the vast inland landscapes, this region is home to unique wildlife and plant species that thrive in its varied habitats.
Biodiversity in Central Queensland
Central Queensland is a haven for a variety of flora and fauna. The Lemon Myrtle (Backhousia citriodora) fills the air with its fragrant bloom, while the sounds of lorikeets, cockatoos, and galahs echo along the Fitzroy River, which is inhabited by species like barramundi and the majestic saltwater crocodile. Protecting and maintaining this natural environment is crucial if we want it to continue supporting us and future generations.
