The logrunner is a species of robin and is found in the eastern and central regions of the country. It inhabits open forests, woodland edges, and scrubs.

The logrunner is a native species of Australia and is also known as the Eastern Logrunner or the New South Wales Logrunner. The physical characteristics of the bird include a brown back, white underside, and a distinctive white stripe above the eye. It has a hooked beak and its legs and feet are gray. Males have a black throat patch, while females have a black throat patch with a white stripe.

In terms of diet, logrunners are omnivores, feeding on insects, invertebrates, seeds, fruits, and nectar. They are common visitors to backyard bird feeding stations and suburban gardens. They are known to frequent low vegitation in search of food. The breeding habits of logrunners involve building cup-shaped nests on or near the forest floor. Nests are typically made from twigs and lined with other plant material.

Logrunners are considered common species, although their populations are declining in some areas due to habitat loss and fragmentation. Conservation efforts are underway to protect and restore habitats of these birds. Human disturbance around nest sites and surrounding areas has been identified as a potential threat to their reproductive success. Logrunners are an important component of Australia's native bird species, playing a vital role in the ecosystem.
