Geocache Description:


Gluepot is home to two species of babbler : White-browed Babblers and Chestnut-crowned Babblers. Both species live in small family groups of 2 to 20 birds. This group usually consists of a breeding pair and their offspring. Their noisy, gregarious and restless groups are easily detected as they move about foraging for food. Their incessant calls consist of growls, chattering and whistles. They forage mainly on the ground in leaf litter and decaying wood. They seek out spiders and a range of insects.

This walk commences from the car park opposite the eastern entrance to the Babbler Campsite. Babbler Campsite is 3 km from the Visitor Centre along track 8 The walk heads SSE through the Black Oak (Casuarina) woodland south of the track. It passes through a variety of vegetation associations each with its own array of bird species. In addition to the Black Oak woodland, the walk 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. Part of the walk skirts along the edge of a Mallee/Triodia ridge, whilst, towards the end, it passes through some dense Triodia.
