As part of Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area, the park contains many birds and animals that remain relatively the same as their fossilised ancestors. It’s also home to various threatened and vulnerable species of wildlife such as the Hastings River mouse, parma wallaby, rufous scrub bird and paradise riflebird, and the glossy black-cockatoo.
