Starting from the Mount Shaugh car park on Mount Shaugh Track, Ngarkat, this walk takes you to the summit of Mount Shaugh and back via the Mount Shaugh Hike. This short, moderately challenging walk takes walkers to the summit of Mount Shaugh in the southeastern corner of Ngarkat Conservation Park, passing through the park's characteristic mallee health vegetation and offering excellent views over the surrounding area. Standing at 182 metres, Mount Shaugh is the highest point in the park and is located on an undulating sandy plain with large, irregular sand dunes. A variety of birds can be seen along the trail in spring, as well as colour­ful displays of wildflowers. Western grey kangaroos and emus are also commonly seen in the park. This walk consists of narrow walking trails with uneven natural surfaces and short steep hills, suitable for average fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
