The Grove and the banks of Wirribi Yaluk are brimming with native vegetation that provides food and shelter to a range of insects, birds, reptiles and mammals. These include magnificent gum trees, such as the River Red Gum, Werribee Blue Box and Swamp Gum, as well as the graceful Drooping Sheoak. Other important native plants in this area include brilliantly-coloured wattles, the thorny Sweet Bursaria and Blackwood, which is a popular home for the many spiders and bugs that love to tunnel and hide beneath its cracked bark.
