Vegetation
The canopy of tall eucalypts provides food and nesting for birds such as the Eastern Yellow Robin, Grey Fantail, Laughing Kookaburra, Currawong and Crimson Rosella and a range of honeyeaters.
At night, possums and owls emerge from tree hollows to feed amongst the spreading branches of the eucalypts.
Animals
Agnes Falls Scenic Reserve protects a small remnant of the forests that once covered the Strzelecki Ranges.
Tall Southern Blue Gums together with Blackwood and Silver Wattles grow within the sheltered gorge and along the banks of the Agnes River.
