The Amamoor State Forest and Forest Reserve is a riverine rainforest in the Gympie Region in Queensland, Australia.[1][2] 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.[3] The park station is located on Amamoor Creek Road about 180 km north of the state capital of Brisbane and 20 km southwest of the town of Gympie. This area has a subtropical climate.[4] The elevation of the terrain is 226 m AMSL.[5]
