This dam site is on the west side of the Outback Hwy 2km north of the Farina Ck and easily spotted. Being a cattle dam the surrounding vegetation is pretty knackered, but the dam usually has water in it and so is a major draw for the area’s birds.
Camp rating 6 there is no established camp here, please camp away from the dam.
