Malleefowl Walk| Location | | Gluepot Reserve | | Description | | The Malleefowl walk follows, for the most part, an old station track that has become partially overgrown. The walk is marked with posts and blue triangular reflectors. Seats are provided at the Malleefowl mound, at the mid-point of the walk and within the Callitris (Native pine) woodland at the southern end. Upon reaching this mid-point, you can either retrace your steps or return along the nearby management vehicle track. You will pass through Mallee with Triodia scariosa (Porcupine grass) understorey growing on sand. Animal tracks are usually visible on the sand. Look out for Striated Grasswrens in the Triodia. Other birds commonly seen on this walk include Black-eared Miner, Southern Scrub-robin and a variety of honeyeaters when the mallee is flowering. | | Time | | 2 hours | | Distance | | 5.5 kilometres, return | | Classification | | Easy | | Type | | Loop | | Category | | National Trail | | Start Point | | Nine km east of the Visitor Centre along track 8, Gluepot Reserve. | | End Point | | Nine km east of the Visitor Centre along track 8, Gluepot Reserve. | | Further Info | | Gluepot Reserve | | Trail Disclaimer | | This trail is provided for your enjoyment and shall only be used for an
