The Malleefowl Walk trailhead is located about 8 km east of the Visitor Centre along Track 8
The track passes through Callitris (native pine), Triodia (porcupine grass) and mallee.
At the end of a marked short side track is old Malleefowl mound, about 1.9 km from the start. Upon reaching the southern end you can either retrace your steps or return along the nearby management vehicle track. If returning on the management track you will come across a sign-posted second Malleefowl mound after 1.8km, on your left.
