The park preserves about half (30,000 ha) the area of [[Rainforests and vine thickets|rainforest]] present at the time of European settlement, which has been much reduced by logging.<ref name=Kitching /> Rainforest in the National Park ranges from high elevation, notophyll vine forest to low elevation mesophyll forests at the base of the ranges.<ref>Majer, J.
