Home to many threatened species, the granite peaks of Terrick Terrick National Park contrast with areas of remnant native grasslands. This is an ideal park for a scenic drive, bushwalk or picnic.

Nature lovers can enjoy the beautiful flora and fauna that are unique to the area. Scenic drives take visitors to grasslands, granite outcrops, eucalypt woodlands and historical farming sites.

Fauna
The wooded and open grasslands are home to over 100 species of birds, including the Plains wanderer (Pedionomus torquatus), Grey-crowned babbler (Pomatostomus temporalis), Bush stone curlew (Burhinus grallarius), Barking owl (Ninox connivens), Spotted nightjar (Caprimulgus guttatus) and Brolga (Grus rubicundus). The park is also home to a variety of native mammals and reptiles such as the Black wallaby (Wallabia bicolor), Fat-tailed dunnart (Sminthopsis crassicuadata), Striped legless lizard (Delma impar), Hooded scaly foot (Pygopus nigriceps) and the Tree goanna (Varanus varius).

Vegetation
The park supports over 200 species of native flora including many rare and threatened species. Significant flora includes buloke (Allocauarina leuhmannii), rock correa (Correa glabra), snowy mint bush (Prostanthera nivea), swan greenhood (Pterostylis cycnocephala), woolly cloak fern (Cheilanthes lasiophylla), dwarf bluebush (Maireana humillima) and rye beetle-grass (Tripogon logiiformis). The plains area of the park carry a grassy woodland community dominated by white cypress-pine, yellow box and grey box. The newly acquired grassland property supports the largest known Victorian populations of the endangered species Leptorhynchos scabrus, Swainsona murrayna, Prauphyllum suaveolens and Panicum laevinode. Through further surveys this list of significant species will almost certainly increase.
