A wide range of wildlife is found on the property including eastern grey kangaroos (Macropus giganteus), swamp (Wallabia bicolor) and red-necked (Macropus rufogriseus) wallabies, dingoes (Canis dingo), black (Pteropus alecto) and little red (Pteropus scapulatus) flying-foxes and dunnarts. The property also supports large populations of native birds including waterbirds.
