This site is down an indistinct track off the Outback Hwy to the west about 20km N of Farina and opposite Wilpoorina Tk. It’s generally very ordinary habitat, but there are a few trees and shrubs that are attracting some nice birds to the site. There is no substantial waterhole here, just a depression that might collect and hold water for a while and a creekline to the south.
Camp rating 6, near the Murrumbidgee Gate. This isn’t an established camp and no facilities
