The reserve consists of a subtropical rainforest with a variety of plant species, including the Australian red cedar. It is also home to a diverse range of wildlife, including birds, marsupials, bats, lizards, snakes, and frogs. Visitors can enjoy facilities such as the Rainforest Discovery Centre, walking tracks, car park, BBQ facilities, and a cafe. The Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve Discovery Centre is an award-winning attraction that was opened in 2017.
