Mount Banda Banda

Mount Banda Banda, a mountain of the Mid North Coast region of New South Wales, Australia, is situated 320 kilometres (200 mi) from Sydney within the Willi Willi National Park.

The stands of Antarctic beech are some of the finest in existence, and the mountain was included in 1986[1] on the United Nations World Heritage List[3] as part of Gondwana Rainforests of Australia.

Associated species include prickly ash, coachwood, sassafras, soft corkwood and yellow carabeen.

Despite the impressive 40-metre canopy, the soil is only moderately fertile, being derived from porphyry.

[5] However, as this Gondwana rainforest is in good condition, future surveys should provide a valuable picture of the local ecology.
