The Reserve covers an area of 887 hectares which includes steep rocky western escarpment slopes and narrow gullies providing extensive views of Demon Creek Valley. The topography of the narrow western plateau edge comprises undulating areas interspersed with rocky hillsides and granite tors.
Despite its small size, the varied topography of the Reserve provides habitat for a diverse range of plant communities, including escarpment communities which are poorly represented in protected areas in the region. It is also one of few conservation areas in the northern region comprising a predominantly western escarpment.
