Australian Heath, also known as heathland, is a type of shrubby vegetation found in Australia. There are several synonyms used to describe it, including heath, scrub, bushland, and moorland. Heathland is characterized by its low-growing, hardy plants, which can thrive in nutrient-poor soils. It is often found in coastal areas or on infertile, sandy soils inland. Other common plant species found in heathland are native grasses and flowering plants such as banksias, grevilleas, and hakeas. This unique vegetation provides essential habitat for many Australian animals, including birds, reptiles, and mammals, making it an important ecological feature of the country's landscape.
