This walk starts opposite the eastern entrance to Babbler Campsite which is 3 km from the Visitor Centre along track 8. The track initially heads SSE through Black Oak (Casuarina) woodland. Then it traverses open Mallee areas with a sparse understorey and passes close by low lying areas with a dense understorey of shrubs such as Acacias and Sennas. The walk then skirts along the edge of a Mallee/Triodia ridge, before swinging around and returning to the start.
This walk is habitat for Restless Flycatcher, Striped Honeyeater, Chestnut-crowned Babbler, Rufous Whistler, White-browed Treecreeper, Crested Bellbird, Chestnut Quail-thrush, Grey Butcherbird.
