Abstract
FEW pollen diagrams from Australian Quaternary deposits have been published and none of these extends beyond 10,000 BP. In north-eastern Australia, Lake Euramoo1 provides a pollen record from 9,700 BP to 1,500 BP and Quincan Crater2 gives evidence of vegetation changes from 7,250 BP to the present day. Here I outline results from a third site on the Atherton Tableland, Lynch's Crater, which provides a much longer vegetation record.
