The park encompasses an extensive section of the least modified tropical savannas in Queensland. The vegetation is savannawoodland dissected by ephemeral streams with a small number of permanent or semi-permanent waterholes. It has few exotic weeds or introduced animals.[2]
Important Bird Area
The park has been identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports a large population of up to a thousand endangeredgolden-shouldered parrots. Feral pigs destroy the parrots' nesting mounds and reduce the bird's food source. When conditions allow the pigs population to grow significantly the animal is culled by the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service.[3]
