Animals
The forest provides an important local habitat, particularly for waterbirds. Over 200 species of birds have been recorded, and it is one of Victoria’s largest waterbird breeding areas. Other abundant animal life throughout the forest include grey kangaroos, emus and koalas.
Vegetation
The park protects 38 rare or threatened plants including fruit Saltbush and Winged Peppergrass. Yellow and Black Box grow on the ridges.
