| | The Migration Route of the Australian Marsupial Fauna. Presidential Address. by Launcelot Harrison |
 | | The Australian Leptodactylids, the essential characters of which are not in any way altered by calling them Bufonids, have not succeeded in penetrating to the north or west of Papua, in which island they are represented by one or two species only; and their closest affinities would still seem to lie with South American forms. | | | But Australian opinion favours a connection through former extensions of the Antarctic Continent, linking up with South America, Australia, and Africa, and there is a widespread belief that much of our fauna was received from America along this route. | | | There is no evidence whatever that any greater number of Hylids or Leptodactylids ever inhabited North America, and the implication that they are residuals of a larger fauna when it seems much more probable that they are fairly recently derived from the south, and have never greatly extended further northwards and westwards, is unjustifiable. |

| | Australian Florna and faurna |
| | Unique Australian native plants such as the sturt desert pea, kangaroo paw and waratah have evolved over time and are often only found in small micro-climates. | | | Many varieties flower, the wood is prized and its oil is used for pharmaceuticals and perfumed products. | | | Plants can be found even in the arid centre, though many of them grow and flower erratically. |

| | Overview of the Conservation of Australian Marine Invertebrates |
| | In all habitat types, the macrofauna has been best studied, whereas smaller components of the fauna - particularly cryptic fauna, the microscopic animals inhabiting the interstitial spaces between grains of sediment (i.e., meiofauna) and the myriad of commensal and parasitic taxa- are generally very poorly known or completely unknown. | | | The fauna of NSW is essentially warm temperate with elements from the subtropical fauna shared with southern Queensland and the cool temperate fauna of Bass Strait and the south coast. | | | The biogeographical patterns in the Australian fauna reflect the tropical and temperate characteristics of the northern and southern faunas, and latitudinal transition between these two extremes along the east and west coasts. |

| | Gum trees are home to many native Australian animals, they provide food and shelter for Koalas and other mammals, insects and birds. | | | Some examples of species are: Scribbly Gum, Dwarf Angophora, Plunkett Mallee, Water Gum and Argyle Apple, to name just a few. | | | Most gum trees can be found in coastal areas. |
