Comments 7.11.17: This regional ecosystem is extensive between the Bloomfield and Daintree Rivers, from Whyanbeel to Speewah, the Mulgrave Valley, and along the Seaview and Cardwell Ranges.

1 Estimated extent is from version 13.1 pre-clearing and 2021 remnant regional ecosystem mapping. Figures are rounded for simplicity. For more precise estimates, including breakdowns by tenure and other themes see remnant vegetation in Queensland.

2 Superseded: Revision of the regional ecosystem classification removed this regional ecosystem code from use. It is included in the regional ecosystem description database because the RE code may appear in older versions of RE mapping and the Vegetation Management regulation.
