Fifes Knob Nature Reserve Plan of Management

Fifes Knob Nature Reserve is named after a local topographic feature to the north of the reserve that derived its name from an early land surveyor. The reserve is part of the rugged terrain abutting the Carrai Plateau, and forms part of the regional fauna corridor connecting the plateau to the Macleay Valley lower slopes.

The majority of the reserve is dry eucalypt forest, chiefly white mahogany with brush box and tallowwood. Dry rainforest and moist sclerophyll forest is found in protected gullies. Six animal species listed under the Threatened Species Conservation Act are known to occur within the reserve, and a further 21 species are considered likely to occur in the reserve.
