| Description | Eucalyptus fibrosa subsp. fibrosa woodland +/- Corymbia citriodora subsp. Variegata, Angophora leiocarpa, E. acmenoides, E. decorticans, C. trachyphloia and C. watsoniana in central western part of bioregion. Occurs on Mesozoic to Proterozoic igneous rocks. Not a Wetland.

| Protected areas | Beninbi NP, Warro NP, Nour Nour NP, Littabella NP, Littabella CP, Cherbourg NP, Cherbourg CP |
| Special values | 12.12.25: This ecosystem is known to provide suitable habitat for koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus). |
| Fire management guidelines | SEASON: Summer to winter. INTENSITY: Low to moderate. INTERVAL: 4-25 years. INTERVAL_MIN: 4. INTERVAL_MAX: 25. STRATEGY: Aim for 40-60% mosaic burn. Burn with soil moisture and with a spot ignition strategy so that a patchwork of burnt/unburnt country is achieved. Variability in season and fire intensity is important. ISSUES: The fire regime should maintain a mosaic of grassy and shrubby understoreys. |
| Comments | 12.12.25: RE extends into adjacent Brigalow Belt bioregion. |
