📍 Dawson River, Cracow Beach

Livistona nitida also known as the, 'Dawson River Cabbage Palm', hug the Dawson River like their lives depend on it! You only have to walk a short distance away from the river and the palms abruptly end. The soil, moisture and climate combine to sustain these tall beauties in the narrowest of bends along the river's edge creating a bird watcher's delight.

Habitat and Distribution includes the catchment of the Dawson, Comet and Burnett Rivers and Carnarvon and Isla Gorge, where they grow along streams and on rocky escarpments and eucalyptus forest's.
