2 The National Park the first national park in Australia, established 26 th April 1879
3 Post Fire Vertebrate Fauna Survey vegetation sampling units Vegetation Community Heathland Scribbly Gum Plateau Woodland, Angophora costata / Eucalyptus piperita Gully Forest Tall Forest Eucalypyus pilularis,, Warm Temperate Rainforest Eucalyptus pilularis / E. botryoides Forest, Littoral Rainforest Vegetation Group No of Sampling Sites Unburnt Heathland 8 0 Woodland / Forest 12 9 Tall Rainforest 3 6 Coastal Complex 4 3 Vegetation communities were grouped into four categories for sampling purposes. Heathland Woodland / Forest Tall Rainforest Coastal Complex and unburnt habitats were included where possible. Marine and estuarine habitats were not surveyed.
4 Post Fire Vertebrate Fauna Survey survey transects and sites Fifteen 2 km transects and 45 permanent sampling sites were established across the 18, 700 ha that comprise the reserves. Sampling sites were replicated across habitat types. and unburnt sites were included where possible. Heathland was restricted to Royal NP there was no unburnt heathland. Tall Rainforest only occurred in Royal NP & Garawarra SCA. Coastal complex only occurred in Royal NP. Woodland / Forest sites were located in Royal NP. Unburnt Woodland / Forest sites were located in Heathcote NP.

6 Post Fire Vertebrate Fauna Survey extent of 1994 fire More than 90% of the area of Royal NP and Garawarra SCA was burnt in the January 1994 fire. The fire started at East Heathcote on the 5 th January, Bundeena was evacuated on the 6 th January and the fire was extinguished in the southern part of the reserves on the 13 th January. Heathcote NP was unburnt by the 1994 fire, being last burnt in 1977, with a small area on Woronora Dam Rd being burnt in 1982.
7 Post Fire Vertebrate Fauna Survey survey transects 15 2 km transects each including 3 permanent sampling sites were established along roads, management tracks & walking tracks. Standardised survey activities along transects included:- 10 large cage traps & 10 hair traps Spotlighting 3 owl censuses Predator scat collection Harp trapping Frog searching at streams / wetlands Bird census
8 Post Fire Vertebrate Fauna Survey survey sites 3 rows of 6 Elliot traps 1 row of 6 pitfall traps & drift fence 1 row of 6 hair tubes Bird census Reptile search (some systematic sites) Systematic survey sites were comprised of a 70m x 30m grid on which were:- Other survey activities at sites included:- Additional survey activities included:- Ultrasonic bat call census Co-ordinated ordinated owl census Opportunistic records
9 Post Fire Vertebrate Fauna Survey knowledge of the vertebrate fauna Fauna Group No of species recorde d prior to 1994 fire No of specie s possibl y extinct or in doubt No species recorde d in /1997 surveys All vertebrates No of new species detected in /1997 surveys Frogs Reptiles Birds Mammals Royal & Heathcote NPs & Garawarra SCA support a wide array of habitat types and therefore support a wide diversity of flora and fauna. Prior to this survey 358 vertebrate species were recorded for the reserves of which 10 species were thought to be locally extinct. This survey detected 246 species including 9 new species. This survey did not sample all potential habitats in Royal NP.
10 Post Fire Vertebrate Fauna Survey - mammals Mammal Group No of species recorded prior to 1994 fire No of species recorded during /97 surveys Total Native Mammals Possible Extinctions 4 1 New Species 5 Monotremes 2 1 Carnivorous marsupials 4 2 Bandicoots 1 1 Wombat 1 1 Koala 1 1 Possums 7 6 Macropods 3 1 Fruit bats 1 1 Micro bats 7 11 Rodents 3 3 Total Introduced mammals species of native mammal were found during the surveys compared to 30 species known prior to the fire. 4 species, Platypus, Tiger Quoll, Red-necked Pademelon & Red- necked Wallaby may have been locally extinct prior to the fire. The Greater Glider may have become locally extinct following the fire. 5 new species of microbats were detected for the reserves. The Dingo was originally recorded when the park was established but is locally extinct and not included in totals here.
11 Post Fire Vertebrate Fauna Survey small mammals Species Total captures / 97 Pitfall trap Pitfall Elliott trap Elliott trap Brown Antechinus Common Dunnart Eastern Pygmy Possum New Holland Mouse Bush Rat Swamp Rat House Mouse Black Rat Eight small mammal species were detected by a range of trapping techniques. Some species were more readily detected by particular techniques. Eastern Pygmy Possum was most often caught in pitfall traps. The Common Dunnart was only trapped in pitfall traps. The Brown Antechinus, Bush Rat and Swamp Rat were readily caught in Elliott traps. The New Holland Mouse was trapped in Elliott & pitfall traps.
