The Amamoor State Forest and Forest Reserve is a riverine rainforest near the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia.[1] The forest is composed of subtropical vegetation dominated by stands of Melia azedarach (white cedar), Toona ciliata (red cedar), Araucaria cunninghamii (hoop pine) and A. bidwillii (Bunya pine). The Amamoor creek within the reserve is noted as a habitat for the platypus and several species of endangered frogs.[2] The park station is located on Amamoor Creek Road about 180 kilometers north of the state capital of Brisbane and 20 kilometres southwest of the town of Gympie.[1]
