Mammals and birds of Stanthorpe Shire, South-East Queensland.

Abstract

Thirty-nine species of mammals and 171 species of birds were located during 1971-72 in the Stanthorpe Shire, an area of largely open eucalypt forest in south-eastern subcoastal Queensland. Most species recorded were those expected from such a situation, but the district harbours several species, including the common wombat (Vombatus ursinus) and the superb lyrebird (Menura superba), not known from elsewhere in Queensland.
