Eucalyptus fibrosa , Eucalyptus spp. woodland. Occurs on hills and ranges, particularly on colluvial lower slopes, formed from medium to coarse- grained sediments (usually sandstone). Associated soils are often texture contrast with a thin sandy or loamy surface horizon and some uniform sandy and lithosol soils. Eucalyptus saligna, Syncarpia glomulifera subsp. glomulifera open forest. Corymbia citriodora, E. major, E. acmenoides and C. trachyphloia occur on drier sites. Often a distinct shrub or secondary tree layer dominated by species such as Livistona spp. and Pittosporum undulatum , particularly in moist habitats, is present. Occurs in sheltered gorges in ranges formed from medium to coarse-grained sediments. Acacia shirleyi and/or A. catenulata woodland to open forest. Other Acacia spp. such as A. sparsiflora and A. rhodoxylon may form part of the canopy and in places may predominate. Scattered Eucalyptus spp. emergents may occur, the most frequent being E. crebra , although Corymbia trachyphloia, E. decorticans and E. thozetiana may occur. Scattered tall shrubs may occur.
