An important floodplain in the Murray-Darling Basin, Aboriginal cultural sites and diverse woodland vegetation are preserved in Culgoa Floodplain National Park.

Coolibahs, black box and grasses flourish on the floodplains, brigalow and gidgee are found on the flat plains, and mulga and western bloodwood grow on red earth and stony ridges. The park is a birdwatcher's haven with more than 150 species including 10 honeyeaters, Australia's six species of woodswallow and beautiful parrots.

Stone tool scatters and cooking sites remind visitors that Aboriginal people have had a long association with this place. Relics of the pastoral and grazing industries are found throughout the park, which was formally Byra Station.
