Grassy woodlands
The Upper Georges River sandstone woodland occurs in three parts of Georges River National Park. You'll find this plant community growing on sandy soils with sandstone and shale beneath. It typically occurs on ridges and upper slopes where the shrubs and ground plants are diverse. The Sydney Plains greenhood orchid (pterostylus saxicola) occurs in this type of vegetation.

Freshwater wetlands
You'll find freshwater wetlands at Yeramba Lagoon.

Saltwater wetlands
You'll be able to see mangroves and saltmarshes along most of the foreshore reserves in Georges River National Park. They occur in tidal areas along the Georges River and its tributaries, such as Little Salt Pan Creek.

Mammals
The forests on the southern side of Georges River National Park are connected to extensive tracts of bushland in the Holsworthy and Lucas Heights areas. There's a chance you'll see a wide range of mammals, some of which live in the park. However, many are just visiting from the larger adjacent areas. These visitors include koalas, which can sometimes be found in the Mill Creek section of the park. It is likely that smaller species such as antechinuses are also present in the reserve.

Birds
Over 100 bird species have been recorded in the park, most of which were seen in the Yeramba Lagoon area. The lagoon and wetland is a good site for you to spot waterbird species. Birds of prey include the whistling kite, brown goshawk, collared sparrowhawk, peregrine falcon and powerful owl The brown quail is a regular migrant to the park, and if you're very lucky, you might see the rare, threatened swift parrot.

Amphibians and reptiles
Keep your eyes open for the eastern brown snakes and red-bellied black snakes that are commonly encountered around Yeramba Lagoon. You are also likely to come across blue tongue lizards and Cunninghams water skinks
