FLORA

Tasmania (including the Gorge) can lay claim to some of the most ancient plant species on earth, the tallest trees, and a large array of species both native and introduced. At ground level live a rich array of flowering plants, conifers, ferns, mosses, lichens and liverworts, while cliff grounds are covered in shades of leafy green.

​

You might be impressed to know that nearly 300 species of native plants have been recorded at the Cataract Gorge.

​

Remarkably diverse, the Cataract Gorge has 6 distinctive native plant communities -

+ She-oak Forest

+ Grassy woodland and Forest

+ Native Grassland

+ Dry Sclerophyll Forest

+ Riparian Vegetation

+ Wet Gully Scrub

​

Every season brings new delights.
