Longitude 140.9388900 (140° 56′ 20″ E)

This open woodland site on the main track to Danggali from the south, is about half way through the reserve. It doesn’t look all that inspiring, but the birds seem to like this place, with a few of the harder to find species here. 4WD is recommended. The grid no longer exists, but a post and gate mark the spot.

No camping is advised here
