Cracraft’s use of Eastern Queensland is unique as it does not distinguish between Bassian and Torresian elements. Herein Eastern Queensland is split into two areas divided by the biotic break of the Bassian and Torresian regions, which has the exact same dimensions as the Macleay-McPherson overlap zone proposed by Crisp et al. (1995) in their revision of Cracraft (1991). For the sake of clarity, we have followed Cracraft’s (1991) diagnosis for Southeastern Forest to limit the western boundary of Eastern New South Wales to the Great Dividing Range.
