Beginning at Haggarts Track the walk starts in old-growth heathy woodland of Brown Stringybarks, Shining Peppermints and Scent-barks with an abundant understorey of Austral Grass-trees, ferns, Silver Banksias and small ground plants such as Common Flat-pea, Twisted Beard-heath and Dwarf Bush-pea. As the landscape changes with expansive views over the heathland to Anglesea and the ocean, the Shining Peppermints become dominant with the understorey of mainly Sweet Wattle.

After walking a short distance there is a damper area with Manuka and Prickly Teatree growing densely. The road turns close to a small stand of the rare winter-flowering Juniper Wattle nestled amongst the Red-fruit Saw-sedge the swampy terrain of the Anglesea River system.

After a mostly downhill stretch, the road climbs through woodland trees, teatree, grass-trees, hakea and messmates, then down again through another stand of Juniper Wattle. There is a very healthy population of the endemic Anglesea Grevillea, which flowers in spring and summer. The track eventually joins Allardyce Track, seasonally open to traffic and quite badly eroded in parts. There is another patch of grevillea growing on the right side of the track. Small Sheoak, Silver Banksia, Sweet Wattle, Victorian Smoke-Bush and other plants grow along the embankments.

In the lower section there is a fine stand of Scented Paperbark with pleasantly scented, lemon-yellow bottle-brush flower-spikes in spring and summer. Further along, the woodland returns, with very tall eucalypts and an understorey of Myrtle Wattle, Hazel Pomaderris, Black Wattle and Snowy Daisy-bush, to name a few. Close to Gum Flat Road, Autumn Wasp Orchid leaves and perhaps flowers can be found in autumn beside the track.

Take time to stop and listen for birds in the various habitats and look for fauna such as wallabies, kangaroos, echidnas and interesting insects.
