The average elevation of the terrain is 544 metres. The park features a small two-room homestead. The pastoral holding was abandoned in 1937. 13 rare or threatened species have been identified in the national park. This includes a colony of the vulnerable yakka skink, then woma python, red goshawk, grey falcon, koala and others.
