Oolong Sanctuary

Flora

Please note that this list was produced from an investigation of a small 2 ha section of Oolong and from a recent preliminary survey by Greening Australia, Central West, NSW. Additional information on two sites linked by a crown road to Oolong was also produced by Greening Australia and is reported and illustrated under OOLONG HISTORY.

Officers of the NSW NPWS, Southern Directorate conducted preliminary surveys in May 2001. Results, for both current and pre 1750 distributions are added as FIELD REPORTS at the end of OOLONG HISTORY.

Additional surveys by observers, research groups and societies have been planned (ANOS on orchids, FATS on frogs etc.,)and are to be conducted to complete this list. (See NEWS and PROJECTS).Illustration of these species are entered as they become available.
