The deep river valleys of the park are dominated by moist Sclerophyllwald (mainly mountain ash (Eucalyptus regnans ) ). The undergrowth consists mainly of Blackwood (Acacia melanoxylon ), Pomaderris ( Pomaderris aspera ) and tree ferns ( Dicksonia antarctica, Cyathea australis). At some spots in the park you will also find cold - temperate rainforest with Myrthenbuchen ( Nothofagus cunninghamii ). The heights are covered with low, sparse forest, mostly Eukalypti of species and Peppermint Gum.

Attractions

In the park you will find a large suspension bridge over the valley and many hiking trails. There you can gain an impression of how the forest has once looked in large parts of present-day Victoria.
