| Short description | Eucalyptus crebra +/- Acacia rhodoxylon woodland on old sedimentary rocks with varying degrees of metamorphism and folding |
| Structure code | Woodland |
| Description | Eucalyptus crebra woodland, often with Acacia rhodoxylon. Other species that may be present include Corymbia citriodora, C. leichhardtii, E. melanophloia, C. erythrophloia, C. clarksoniana, E. fibrosa subsp. fibrosa (subregion 18) and E. moluccana on lower slopes (subregions 14, 17, 18). Macrozamia spp. sometimes present in shrub layer. Lophostemon grandiflorus occurs in gullies within this regional ecosystem in the north of the bioregion. Occurs mainly on sub-coastal hills and ranges formed on moderately to strongly deformed and metamorphosed sediments and interbedded volcanics. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 13c). |

| Protected areas | Goodedulla NP, Homevale NP |
| Special values | 11.11.1: Potential habitat for NCA listed species: Corymbia clandestina, Cycas ophiolitica. |
| Fire management guidelines | INTERVAL: Fire return interval not relevant. INTERVAL_MIN: 100. INTERVAL_MAX: 100. STRATEGY: Manage surrounding country. Burn surrounding country only under conditions of good soil moisture and when plants are actively growing. Will be difficult to burn owing to a lack of ground fuel that normally occurs in this RE. |
