The vegetation is savanna woodland dissected by ephemeral streams with a small number of permanent or semi-permanent waterholes.

[2] 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 endangered golden-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] It also supports populations of Australian bustards, bush stone-curlews, black-throated and masked finches, varied lorikeets, and yellow-tinted, banded, yellow and bar-breasted honeyeaters.
