Australia has many forests of importance due to significant features
Australia has many forests of importance due to significant features, despite being one of the driest continents. As of 2009, Australia has approximately 147 million hectares of native forest, which represents about 19% of Australia's land area. The majority of Australia's trees are hardwoods, typically eucalypts, rather than softwoods like pine. While softwoods dominate some native forests, their total area is judged insufficient to constitute a major forest type in external text>Australia's National Forest Inventory. The external text>Forests Australia website provides up-to-date information on Australia's forests. Detailed information on Australia's forests is available from external text>Australia's State of the Forests Reports that are published every five years.
