and, as a whole, are surrounded by land cleared for agriculture and farming.
•      Scenic Rim (QLD/NSW): consists of a series of protected areas along the Queensland and New South Wales border, the majority of which are included in the Gondwana Rainforests World Heritage Area. This KBA is comprised of the following protected areas, which support populations of threatened species: Main
             Range National Park, Glen Rock Regional Park, Mount Barney National Park, Mount Chinghee National Park, Lamington National Park and Springbrook National Park, Border Ranges National Park, Koreelah National Park, Mebbin National Park, Wollumbin National Park, Mount Clunie National Park, Mount Nothofagus National Park, Mount Warning National Park, Limpinwood Nature Reserve and Numinbah Nature Reserve. The KBA also includes private properties which support
             Eastern Bristlebirds.

•      Budderoo and Barren Grounds (NSW): The heathland of Barren Grounds, Budderoo and Red Rocks is one of only four large areas of heath along this section of coast. The heaths and sedgelands of the plateau grade into warm temperate rainforest and subtropical rainforest on the slopes, gullies and ridges below the escarpment. The area is a typical hanging swamp plateau, dominated by heathland and almost completely encircled by sheer cliffs. Red Rocks is a nearby area of heath and this IBA may warrant expansion if Eastern Bristlebirds establish themselves
             in other pockets of habitat in the vicinity. The climate is temperate with damp winters and warm, humid summers moderated by proximity to the coast.
•      Jervis Bay (NSW): The peninsula from Huskisson south to St Georges Basin includes Jervis Bay NP, Booderee NP and patches of public/private land at Vincentia, Hyams Beach, Jervis Bay and Wreck Bay. It consists of coastal heath and eucalypt woodlands in patchy mosaics around some developed areas. It contains a sub-population of Eastern Bristlebird, isolated from those in the Budderoo NP/Barren Grounds NR and Nadgee NP. The northern and western boundaries are unclear as bristlebirds disperse out, but the viability of any range extensions is unknown.
•      Nadgee to Mallacoota Inlet (NSW/VIC): includes all of Nadgee National Park in NSW and the eastern section of the 87,500 hectare Croajingolong National Park in Victoria. The key bird species, Eastern Bristlebird, is no longer found west
             of Mallacoota inlet in Victoria so this section of Croajingolong is excluded. The habitat is largely a patchy mosaic of coastal heath and eucalypt woodlands. This includes Nadgee Coastal Heath Complex and Nadgee Coastal Heath/Woodland, which occurs in exposed situations along the coast. There is a diverse range
             of structurally complex wet heath, mainly occurring in poorly drained areas, including Nadgee Lowland Sedge Swamp, Nadgee Tall Wet Shrub Heath and Nadgee Wet Shrub Heath. A unique wetland type occurs within the dune swales surrounding Cape
