Abstract
The characteristic sclerophyll vegetation of the continent developed largely from a Late Cretaceous/Early Tertiary immigrant flora in response to drier climatic conditions in the Late Tertiary and to a dramatic increase in burning with the arrival of aboriginal man in the Late Quaternary. The status of plant communities is assessed in the light of this historical reconstruction. -from English summary
