Two of the component reserves, Liffey River and Dry's Bluff (Taytitikitheeker),[3] were purchased by Dr Bob Brown in 1990, in order to protect them from being logged. These became the first reserves of the Australian Bush Heritage Fund, now Bush Heritage Australia. The third reserve, Coalmine Creek, was purchased at the same time for much the same reason, and was donated to BHA in 2003. The fourth reserve, Oura Oura was donated in 2011.[2]
Landscape and vegetationEdit
The Liffey Valley is part of the catchment of the Meander River and drains the cliffs of the Great Western Tiers, dropping precipitously from 1,200 to 400 m (3,900 to 1,300 ft) asl in a distance of 10 km (6.2 mi). Vegetation types range from alpineheath to wet and dry sclerophyll forests, with temperate rainforest gullies.[2]
