Fauna and Flora
Until recently Skeleton Creek had healthy populations of native reptiles, including;
- Tiger snake
- Eastern Blue-tongued Lizard
- Eastern brown snake
- Striped skink
- Stump-tailed skink
- Brush tail possum
Due to development some species are now depleting in the area. However the tiger snake and the eastern brown snake have been seen around the area recently.

Famous quotes containing the words fauna and/or flora:
“The whole fauna of human fantasies, their marine vegetation, drifts and luxuriates in the dimly lit zones of human activity, as though plaiting thick tresses of darkness. Here, too, appear the lighthouses of the mind, with their outward resemblance to less pure symbols. The gateway to mystery swings open at the touch of human weakness and we have entered the realms of darkness. One false step, one slurred syllable together reveal a man’s thoughts.”
—Louis Aragon (1897–1982)
“A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
