| Description | Eucalyptus drepanophylla (ironbark) and Corymbia clarksoniana (Clarkson's bloodwood) or C. erythrophloia (red bloodwood) woodland to open forest. Uplands on metamorphics, of the dry rainfall zone. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 13c). Vegetation communities in this regional ecosystem include: 7.11.37a: Eucalyptus drepanophylla and Corymbia clarksoniana woodland, low woodland and open forest with Acacia spp. Uplands on metamorphics, of the dry rainfall zone. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 13c). 7.11.37b: Eucalyptus drepanophylla and/or Eucalyptus granitica and Corymbia erythrophloia woodland, low woodland and open forest. Uplands on metamorphics, of the dry rainfall zone. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 13c). |

| Protected areas | Dinden NP, Kuranda West FR, Dinden West FR |
| Fire management guidelines | SEASON: Cool, dry season (April-Sep). INTENSITY: Low to moderate. INTERVAL: 2-5 years. INTERVAL_MIN: 2. INTERVAL_MAX: 5. STRATEGY: Mosaic burn < 30%. Begin burning early in the fire season, with progressive patch fires burnt through the year. Stop burning when the network of fires and other breaks is sufficient to impede fire spread later in the year. Storm-burning may be used to add further diversity to the fire mosaic. ISSUES: An occasional moderate severity fire may be used to manage overabundant recruitment of trees. Maintaining a fire mosaic will ensure protection of animal habitats and mitigate against wildfires. |
| Comments | 7.11.37: Occurs between Tolga and Mount Molloy. |
