Flora and FaunaOn the sandy soils to the west of the track grows a mosaic of Paperbark forests, Lowland scrublands dominated by wallum Banksia and open heath lands, these taper into swamplands close to Deepwater Creek.

Tannins leached from surrounding heath plants stain the creek water brown. The creek is fringed by tall forests of swamp Mahogany, Paperbark and Cabbage Palms, and is broken in places by shallow sections of Reed bed and Paperbark forest. In these areas water only flows during the wet season.

A vast variety of wildlife live in the forest. Birds such as the Emus, Red Tailed Cockatoos, Honeyeaters and Brahminy Kites. Turtle hatchlings can emerge at night.
