A Starter List of Animals in the Area
This page contains a list of animals observed within 5km of the location '4210
Illawarra Highway, Robertson NSW', as extracted from the
Atlas of Living Australia database on 10 April 2011.
The intention is to assist in building up an understanding of the fauna that
may be in the rainforest. But most of the sightings were from eucalypt forests
and agricultural land rather than lilli pilli rainforest, and it's likely that
many of these species would not be found in the rainforest.
The list has been broken into animal-groups meaningful to laypeople, and missing
species-names have been interpolated.
The pragmatic groupings used are as follows. They have been split into three
pages, to improve manageability:
