Within the more extensive eucalypt forests, fire-sensitive species, such as the northern cypress-pine (Callitris intratropica), are declining over very extensive areas. ❋ Unknown (2007)
The plains are basaltic, and occasionally covered with pebbles of white and iron-coloured quartz and conglomerate, and are in the vicinity of slight elevations, which are probably composed of sandstone and conglomerate, and usually covered with low scrub and cypress-pine. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
We now travelled through a country full of lagoons, and chains of water-holes, and passed through several patches of cypress-pine, until we came to another creek with rocky water-holes, with the fall to the eastward, probably joining Dogwood Creek, from which we were not four miles distant. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
Blackfellow and his family, we kept a little too much to the westward, in hope of finding a more open country; instead, however, of an improvement, we encountered sandy hills covered with a dense low scrub and cypress-pine. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)

-- For the past week, the heat was very oppressive during the day, whilst, at night, it was often exceedingly cold; for two or three hours before dawn, and for an hour after sunset, it was generally delightful, particularly within the influence of a cheerful cypress-pine fire, which perfumes the air with the sweet scent of the burning resin. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
They live probably upon the seeds of the cypress-pine; the female answers the loud call of the male, but in a more subdued voice. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)

A natural opening, which had recently been enlarged by a bush fire, enabled us to pass into a dense Ironbark and cypress-pine forest; and then, bearing a little to the right, we came on a slight watercourse to the northward, which rapidly enlarged as it descended between ranges, which seemed to be the spurs of the table land we had just left. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
After having ascended the gullies, and passed the low scrub and cypress-pine thicket which surrounds them, I came into the open forest, and soon found our tracks, and the little creek for which I had steered the day before. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
Fine grassy flats accompanied the creek on its left, whilst a cypress-pine forest grew on its right bank. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
Travelling to the eastward and east by south, I found that the water-holes outside of the scrub at which we were encamped, changed into a creek with rocky bed, having its banks partly covered with cypress-pine thickets. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
The range was openly timbered with white-gum, spotted-gum, Ironbark, rusty-gum, and the cypress-pine near the gullies; and with a little dioecious tree belonging to the Euphorbiaceae, which I first met with at the Severn River, and which was known amongst us under the name of the "Severn Tree:" it had a yellow or red three-capsular fruit, with a thin fleshy pericarp, of an exceedingly bitter taste; the capsules were one-seeded. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
Instead of the cypress-pine scrub, the Corypha-palm and the Casuarina grew here, and invited us to cool shaded waters; the Corypha-palm promised a good supply of cabbage. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
Within the scrub there was a slight elevation, in which sandstone cropped out: it was covered with cypress-pine, and an Acacia, different from the ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
