[1] Frith's research led him to publish nine scientific papers and a book — The Mallee-Fowl: The Bird that Builds an Incubator (1962) — which focused on the breeding, distribution, predation and conservation of mallefowl.

[1] Other native plant species recorded within the reserve include broombush, mallee pine, streaked wattle, desert quandong, wedge-leaf hop-bush, smooth wallaby-bush, spinifex, small-flowered wallaby-grass, tall feather-grass, annual bluebell, five-minute grass, dwarf greenhood, blue fingers, pink fingers, and blunt greenhood.

[1] Reptiles and amphibians recorded in the reserve include sand goanna, shingleback skink, common bluetongue, pobblebonk and spotted marsh frog.

[1] Mallefowl, red-lored whistler, and southern scrub robin were present in the reserveuntil the mid to late 1980s, but are now considered to be locally extinct.

[1] Similarly, chestnut quail-thrush, Gilbert's whistler, and shy heathwren also appear to have declined and, if still present in the reserve, occur in very low numbers.
