eucalypt species that may be present in low abundance, or dominate, or co-dominate the canopy in limited areas include: E. botryoides hybrids, E. grandis (Flooded Gum), E. longifolia (Woollybutt), E. moluccana (Grey Box) and E. saligna (Sydney Blue Gum). Other eucalypt and non-eucalypt tree species may also be present in the canopy.

A mid-layer of small trees or sub-canopy may be present with scattered to dense shrubs. For example, Melaleuca, Leptospermum and related genera may form dense thickets beneath eucalypt canopies or in gaps between trees. The ecological community often has climbers and vines extending into the mid-storey and canopy and generally has a more diverse and abundant groundcover of grasses, forbs, ferns, sedges and scramblers than locally adjoining slopes. The intact ecological community may also have high litter cover and fallen logs.

The ecological community includes a variety of fauna species, including species that are listed as threatened at a national or state level.
