Description The land surrounding the reserve has been extensively altered through agricultural practice and the development of roads. As a remnant in a highly modified landscape, the reserve's vegetation is significant to the region as it includes critically endangered Mallee (habit), mallee and mallee–broombush in the absence on Triodia (plant), Spinifex; in total there are only three protected areas within New South Wales containing this now rare vegetative structure.
