largest discrete remnants of this threatened ecosystem in Victoria. The entire PMA, along with two small reserves and an army munitions storage site at nearby Mangalore, has been identified as a 435 km2 KBA because it supports the largest known population of Bush Stone-curlews in Victoria. It is also regularly visited by Critically Endangered Swift Parrots, often in large numbers.
    * Rushworth Box-Ironbark Region – The Rushworth Box-Ironbark Region is a 510 km2 fragmented and irregularly shaped tract of land that encompasses all the box–ironbark forest and woodland remnants used as winter feeding habitat by Swift Parrots in the Rushworth-Heathcote region of central Victoria. It lies north of, and partly adjacent to, the Puckapunyal KBA. The site includes the Heathcote-Graytown National Park, several nature reserves and state forests, with a few small blocks of private land. It excludes other areas of woodland that are less suitable for the Swift Parrot. The region was identified as an KBA because, when the flowering conditions are suitable it supports up to about 70 Swift Parrots.
    * St Arnaud Box-Ironbark Region – The St Arnaud Box-Ironbark Region is a 481 km2 fragmented and irregularly shaped tract of land that encompasses all the box-ironbark forest and woodland remnants used as winter feeding habitat by Swift Parrots in the St Arnaud-Stawell region of central Victoria. The site lies west of the Maryborough-Dunolly Box-Ironbark Region KBA. It includes the St Arnaud Range National Park, several nature reserves and state forests, with a few small blocks of private land. It excludes other areas of woodland that are less suitable for Swift Parrots. The region was identified as a KBA because, when flowering conditions are suitable it supports up to about 75 Swift Parrots.
    * Warby-Chiltern Box-Ironbark Region – The Warby–Chiltern Box–Ironbark Region comprises a cluster of separate blocks of remnant box-ironbark forest habitat, with a collective area of 253 km2, in north eastern Victoria. This site lies to the east of the Rushworth Box-Ironbark Region KBA. It includes the Reef Hills and Warby-Ovens National Parks, Killawarra Forest, Chesney Hills, Mount Meg Reserves, Winton Wetlands Reserve, the Boweya Flora and Fauna Reserve, Rutherglen Conservation Reserve, Mount Lady Franklin Reserve and Chiltern-Mount Pilot National Park. Most of it lies within protected areas or state forests, encompassing only small blocks of private land. The site has been identified as an KBA because it provides feeding habitat for relatively large numbers of non-breeding Swift Parrots when flowering conditions are suitable, as well as the Critically Endangered Regent Honeyeaters.
Tasmania
    * Bruny Island – Bruny Island is a 362 km2 island located off the south-eastern coast of Tasmania. Bruny Island is classified as a KBA because it supports the largest population of the
