VEGETATION:
Although clearly definied, the distict elements of Tangalooma each interact with each other to form the diverse, dynamic environment the site has become so famous for.
The organic elements of Tangalooma consist of swamps; heathlands; and open woodlands dominated by Scribbly Gum and Pink Bloodwood trees. Salt-resistant ground-cover plants play an important role in protecting the sand dunes by trapping and binding the sand, which allows other plant species to thrive.
