The walking track follows the course of Currency Creek and then Chain of Ponds Creek for about 2 kilometres emerging near Argents Road. Commencing in thick grassland, the path climbs slowing onto a rocky shelf from which views of the ‘chain of ponds’ may be seen through the trees.

The path then continues through shale sandstone transition forest where species such as Acacia, Persoonia, Eucalypt, Lomandra and Pimelea may be seen.
