Survey Point 326km south of Cape Crawford (Playford River) NT

The site is opposite a wetland (during the wet season), and just north of the Playford River on the Tablelands Hwy. There is a waterhole just by the bridge here that holds water most of the time and thus attracts the birds. The dry or drying out wetland can also be worth checking out.

No camping advised here
