Survey Point Clarke River 57km south of Greenvale Qld
Latitude -19.2169400 (19° 13′ 1″ S)
Longitude 145.4269400 (145° 25′ 37″ E)

On the Gregory Hwy the site is near the junction with the Mount Fox Rd. The river is likely to have at least pools in it, but access is difficult. The surrounding woodland is also pretty good.

Camp rating 5 probably best on Mount Fox Rd but there is no established camp here and little scope to get far off the road, it’s not possible to camp by the river.
