Black Box, Grey Box and Red gum communities support habitat for many endangered fauna and flora species.

A curious little marsupial called the  Yellow-footed  Antichinus (Antechinus flavipes) lives in the forest. The little creature resembles a mouse or small rat.

They prefer to scamper around during the day scavenging for invertebrates, eggs, nectar, small birds and house mice.

During mating season, which lasts two weeks, the males go on a frenzy, as fighting ensues and many nests are visited until a suitable mate is found. Following the twelve-hour mating session, the males all die due to self-imposed starvation and the stress their little bodies endure from overexertion, lack of nutrients and loss of weight.

Following a month’s gestation period the young are born. Seven to ten babies arrive and sometimes there are more babies than teats to feed them. They reside in their mother’s outside pouch and cling to her as she scampers along for the first five weeks of their lives. When the babies are too heavy to carry, they live in a nest prepared by their mother.

The young yellow-footed antechinus are weaned at the age of three months; it is at this time they begin to travel with their parent.

The forests and wetlands are home to 170 native Australian bird species and many migratory birds species. Download Native Birds of Gunbower Brochure and refer to Gunbower Trails Map.
