About 13km NW of Cue on the Beringarra Rd the Coodardy-Noondie Rd heads west. The site is about 12km along in the middle of the area at the ruins of the Catholic Church. The area is still recovering from the habitation with not much in the immediate area, the area surrounding the old settlement is not a lot better, so most of the species are open country birds.
Camp rating 4 the mine is still active so there are mining trucks all night and day. There are no facilities and no ghosts… that we saw anyway.
