Mt Oak flora
Even though in a semi-arid climate of extreme temperatures on skeletal granitic soils, a large number of indigenous flora species are to be found at Mt Oak
A landscape of steep granite outcrop mountains through grassy woodland to the Monaro temperate grasslands presents a wide range of elevation, soil and aspect
Consequently a number of discrete vegetation types and complexes have been identified
Australian Grassy Woodlands are among the most bio-diverse plant communities on earth
The progress of the classification of vegetation communities in NSW is such that several, if not most, of the vegetation types on Mt Oak haven't yet been described. The vegetation of the immediate region is broadly described as sub-alpine savannah
The property, while having been sheep free for decades supports a healthy population of various macropods that exert moderately heavy grazing and browsing pressure on much of the vegetation, but with much less destructive results
