Survey Point | Cattle Pool Mt Augustus NP |
Latitude | -24.2812000 (24° 16′ 52″ S) |
Longitude | 116.8246200 (116° 49′ 29″ E) |
On the NW edge of the park a signposted track leads off the Cobra-Mt Augustus Rd to the north. The pool in the Lyons River North usually has water in it, so is a magnet for wildlife. Unfortunately cattle are still allowed in here, damaging the edges and surrounds as well as defecating in the water.
No camping is allowed here… unless you’re a cow
