Watagans National Park and Jilliby State Conservation Area are located in an area
where the ecologically rich and productive moist forests of the mid north coast give
way to the drier forests of the Sydney sandstone country. Tall moist eucalypt forests
are widespread in the reserves.
The reserves provide important habitat for over 150
native animal species, including wallabies, gliders, brush and ring-tailed possums,
amphibians and reptiles, and more than 130 species of birds. The reserves also
contribute to the diversity of recreational opportunities available in the Newcastle,
Lake Macquarie, Central Coast and greater Sydney regions.
