The walk starts about 10 km from the Visitor Centre along track 7, just east of the junction of this track with track 8. The car park  is located 100m east of this junction by Picnic Dam.
The walk follows an old fence line which heads north-west from track 8. The vegetation is mainly mallee/senna in this first section as well as some old mallee (Eucalyptus oleosa). After 2 km the walk comes to the northern boundary of Gluepot, and then heads east along the fence line.
After about 2 km the track then winds its way south over a triodia/mallee dune to meet up with a management track leading to vehicle track 8 and west back to the car park.
At the fork, there is a bird hide and watering point which provides an opportunity for a rest and also a chance to observe some birds at close quarters as they drink.

This walk includes habitat for Striated Grasswren, Chestnut Quail-thrush, Southern Whiteface, Crested Bellbird, White-browed Treecreeper.
