| Area | 98 hectares |
Broken Head Nature Reserve is a protected area of 98 hectares, situated on the Australian east coast near Byron Bay. The reserve contains an intact segment of littoral rainforest; much of which has been destroyed for agriculture, mining or housing. Species of tree include Tuckeroo, Broad-leaf Lilly Pilly, Native Elm, Pear Fruited Tamarind, Bennett's Ash, Bangalow Palm, Rusty Rose Walnut and Hoop Pine. The extremely rare Scented Acronychia may naturally occur here. Climbers such as Whip Vine and Lawyer Cane are very common. The weed lantana is a serious problem in disturbed areas.[1]
