It is an example of a woodland ecosystem flourishing as it would have before European settlement.
Native animals thrive here in the protected 1200 hectares of fox-free bushland, many of which have been unable to exist in their natural habitat for centuries.
These include the Eastern Bettong, a hopping mouse-like mammal, that has been extinct on mainland Australia for 100 years.
There has also been successful reintroduction programs for animals such as the Eastern Bettong and Eastern Quoll
