WALLUM

 ‘Wallum’ is a general term applied to the coastal lowlands belt of Southern Queensland.  It includes a wide diversity of vegetation types ranging from treeless heath to wet sclerophyll forest.  Fire is a major factor in the environment of the Wallum and is responsible for much of the essential instability of the plant communities.
