About 6km west of the Willare bridge over the Fitzroy River on the Great Northern Hwy there is a permanent waterhole here that is usually haunted by cattle. The best vantage point is from the side of the bridge, it is possible to get down to the NW bank, but most of the birds favour the south side.
No camping advised here
