The {{Convert|2201|ha|adj=on}} is situated {{Convert|12|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} west of Gloucester. FeaturesRelics of the "Mountain Maid" gold mine may be visited with a tour guide.[2] Gold was discovered by timber collectors in 1875. By 1878, around one thousand people were living in the area. Most of the gold mining activity had ceased by 1890.[3] At the end of 1886, the Mountain Maid mine yielded {{convert|8819|oz|g}} of gold. And the Hidden Treasure mine yielded {{convert|9501|oz|g}}.[4] Flora include wet sclerophyll eucalyptus forest and a unique "dry" rainforest. Rainforest trees present include shatterwood, black booyong, Moreton Bay fig, and the white cedar. Some of the red cedar grow in excess of {{convert|40|m}} tall. Of note is the large epiphytic ferns growing in the rainforest, such as birds nest ferns, staghorn fern, and elkhorn ferns. Koalas, eastern grey kangaroos, red-necked wallabies, wombats, and greater gliders are some of the many marsupial animals found here. Microbats rest in the gold mine shafts during the day.
