Survey Point Sandyoota Well SA
Latitude -31.3525000 (31° 21′ 9″ S)
Longitude 139.7219400 (139° 43′ 19″ E)

Finding the small track, Erudina Woolshed Rd, that leads east from the main track, Tea Tree Rd, shouldn’t be hard, it’s about 80km south of the junction with North Flinders Rd and 40km north of Erudina Rd. The short drive, about 1km, to the abandoned well and shack is well worth it. The vegetation doesn’t look all that promising and there’s no water, but the birds definitely like this place.

Camp rating 7 there’s no established camp here on the little used road.
