Description: Oakey Hill was burnt in 2003. Following that, damaged and non-local trees were removed. It has been affected by recent drought and kangaroo grazing so there is little undergrowth but some areas of allocasuarina, and others of acacia and eucalypt. There is a mixture of urban and bush birds, as expected given Oakey Hill’s location.
