Killarney Nature Reserve Plan of Management
Nearby parks and reserves include Barrington Tops National Park to the north-west, and Monkerai Nature Reserve to the south-east. Fosterton and Chichester State Forests link the reserve to Barrington Tops National Park.
The reserve is particularly significant because of the regionally significant occurrence of the spotted gum - grey gum association that is poorly represented within other conservation reserves. It is also part of a key vegetation corridor that forms a link from the Barrington Tops and the parks and reserves on the coast.
