Adult Australian Logrunners differ in throat color by sex. On the floor of moist eastern Australian forests, they use their stiff tails for support while scratching through leaf litter for food.
Adult males are notable for a gray face and white underparts, while females have an orange-rufous throat. The stiff, pointed tail feathers also help support the bird while it forages on the ground.
It props itself with its tail while scratching through leaf litter for insects and other small invertebrates. It commonly uses the floor of rainforest and moist eucalyptus forest.
