In summer, the paperbark trees beside the creek provide a home for the Australian bowl spider (Cyrtophora exanthematica) — a 12-millimetre (half-inch) beige-coloured spider that makes a bowl-shaped web, with a lid, at the end of tree branches using fresh and dead leaves.
In Australia the Paperbark Flycatcher inhabits tropical eucalypt woodlands, paperbark woodlands and dry riverine woodlands.
