Comprising of eight protected areas, its natural landscape of sandstone plateaux, escarpments, and gorges is dominated by temperate eucalypt forests. One of the largest and most intact tracts of Australian bushland, it is well-known for its wide diversity of eucalypts and other rare flora, including relict species like the Wollemi pine.
