"You could be a million miles from anywhere here!" is the reaction of most first-time visitors to the Girrahween forest. The area abounds with bush birds and wildflowers.

A Sydney red gum (Angophora costata) in the relic forest in Girrahween Park. The Wolli Valley contains the last significant samples of the original bushland of inner south-west Sydney. Botanists and ecologists consider that the valley has high conservation value.

The valley's heaths and woodlands also form an important migration corridor for birds such as yellow-faced honeyeaters and silvereyes.
