In the west of the park, there are ironbark (''[[Eucalyptus fibrosa]]'' and ''[[Eucalyptus crebra|E. crebra]]'') and yellow box (''[[Eucalyptus melliodora]]'') woodlands that grow on clay loam and are a habitat for the rare [[regent honeyeater]] and [[turquoise parrot]]. There is white box (''[[Eucalyptus albens]]'') woodland in the southwest and scribbly gum (''[[Eucalyptus rossii]]'' and  ''[[Eucalyptus sparsifolia|E. sparsifolia]]'') woodland on the park's eastern borders.<ref name="Plan of Management"/>

The plant and animal communities of the pagoda formations are fragile and easily irreversibly damaged by human activity. Collection of bush rocks for gardens and landscaping removes habitat for reptiles.<ref name="Plan of Management"/>
