Cattle dam 6km SE of Bungobine Ck Qld

Survey Point Cattle dam 6km SE of Bungobine Ck Qld
Latitude -21.1991700 (21° 11′ 57″ S)
Longitude 147.2683300 (147° 16′ 6″ E)

On the Rutherford Rd about 10km down the road from Olderfleet Station and 25km north of Mount Coolon, in 2015 the area around the dam was clear felled, the dam has the only bit of scrub left now, I expect to get poorer and poorer counts from this site if the farmer’s rape of his land doesn’t get checked.

No camping is advised here
