Flora

Dry heathland on the ridges is dominated by typical Sydney sandstone plants, such as Banksia, Boronia, Leptospermum, Epacris, Acacia, Flannel Flowers, Christmas Bells, and many plants in the pea family. The drier eucalyptus woodland features trees species such as Sydney Red Gum, dwarf apple, Red Bloodwood, Yellow Bloodwood, and Sydney Peppermint.[3]

The wet sclerophyll forests have many large trees over Шаблон:Convert tall. Significant species include Blackbutt, Sydney Blue Gum, Turpentine and Grey Ironbark.[3]

At first appearance, the warm temperate rainforests seem typical of the northern Illawarra. Warm temperate species such as Sassafras and Jackwood are common. However, the rainforests are quite diverse with many interesting sub-tropical species. Such as Small-leaved Fig, Bollygum, White Hazelwood, Brush Bloodwood, Citronella, Native Tamarind and Myrtle Ebony.[4]

Fauna

The area has a rich assembly of rainforest birds, as well as a variety of frogs and reptiles.[2]
