Mummel Gulf State Conservation Area vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2007 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. Mummel Gulf State Conservation Area lies approximately 60 km south-east of Walcha.

Six distinct vegetation communities within Mummel Gulf SCA were recognised and mapped on the basis of aerial photo interpretation, analyses of site data, and ground truthing/personal observations. Three of these communities are subformations of rainforest/closed forest, while the other three are types of open forest dominated by eucalypts. Altitude and position in the landscape (topography) were found to be major factors influencing the distribution of each vegetation community.
