The Black Oak Swamp walk starts opposite the entrance to Sitella Campsite approximately 9 km west of the Visitor Centre on Track 2.
The track heads south through old mallee and bluebush to eventually enter a significant stand of Black Oak. This area was originally a swampy area which the early pastoralists exploited by constructing dams.  The track then follows one of the main drains for the dams leading to a thick stand of mallee/triodia before turning north-east back to the start. 

Short Version (4.3km) After 1.5 km from the start a cross track turns west following an old vehicle track with orange arrows on orange marker posts, to intersect with the return section of the longer track.

 This walk is habitat for Pink Cockatoo, Striated Grasswren, Crested Bellbird, Grey Currawong
