The Yatteyattah Nature Reserve is a protected sub tropical rainforest in Yatte Yattah on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia.[2] The 35-hectare (86-acre) reserve was formed from landed donated by a local farmer in the 1990s. The estimated elevation of the terrain is 546 meters.[3]
Features
The monzonite based soils, moderate climate and 1,200 millimetres (47 in) of annual rainfall produce a high quality forest red gum forest on the higher plateau. The rainforest is of scientific interest as it is the most significant southerly sub tropical rainforest remnant in Australia.[4]
Significant tree species include
In 1964, a broad swathe was cut through this small forest for electrical power lines, despite the area being surrounded by clear country and declared a protected area.
