According to ForestLearning.edu.au, "Melaleuca forest makes up only 5% of Australia’s forest
area." That is still a lot of trees. 5% may not seem like much. 5% of a 10 ounce glass of water is just a small swig of water, but 5% of an ocean is larger than many of the countries in the world!
The site goes on to say: "it is the third most extensive forest type after eucalypts and
acacia."
