The Big Scrub covered 75,000 ha in the hinterland of Byron Bay, until cleared by European settlers. Today, only 1% of this once mighty rainforest remains.
The Big Scrub primarily occurs on rich, basalt-derived soils on the southern flank of the Wollumbin (Mt Warning) caldera. It descended from the ancient Gondwana rainforests and species that trace their lineages back 180 million years, as well as species that migrated from Asia millennia ago.
It is still home to the richest terrestrial biodiversity in NSW – the third richest in Australia – it’s an ancient, complex ecosystem of immense ecological and cultural value.
