Reliance-Creek-Nationalpark

The Reliance Creek National Park (English Reliance Creek National Park ) is a 30 -acre national park in Queensland, Australia.

Location

It is located about five kilometers from the coast, halfway between the Pioneer Peaks National Park and Mackay at the height of Dolphin Heads. In the National Park there are no roads, trails or other visitor facilities.

In the neighborhood of the National Park Cape Hillsborough, Mount Martin and Pioneer Peaks lie.

Flora and Fauna

Palm -dominated, coastal rain forest is the dominant vegetation type. It is now considered endangered, although by the Europeans, the low-lying plains around Mackay almost completely covered before the settlement. Today, less than ten percent is obtained in an initial or quasi- natural state. Particularly important is this type of rainforest to provide seasonal food for birds, especially migratory birds and fruit -eating birds. Particularly worth protecting threatened or endangered almost (English: near threatened ) are plant species Sarcotheca heterophylla and Solanum sporadotrichum or the palm Trigonostemon inopinatus.

The eponymous Reliance Creek meanders through, seasonally flooded alluvial soils.
