This walk starts 1km from the southern end of Track 6, and proceeds on a circuit through a natural depression which is part of the old airstrip.
The walk passes through a seasonal claypan which has been periodically (but rarely) inundated over past years. The soil consists mainly of heavy cracking clays with a cover of low growing Prickly Acacias (Acacia colletioides), Spotted Emubush, (Eremophila maculata) Blue Morgania (Morgania floribunda) and Nitre Bush (Nitraria billardieri).
This walk is habitat for White-fronted Chats, Fairy-wrens, Thornbills, Richard’s Pipit, Brown Songlark, Southern Whiteface, Singing, White Fronted and Spiny-cheeked Honeyeaters and small raptors.
