Coocoran Lake 83km north of Walgett NSW

Survey Point Coocoran Lake 83km north of Walgett NSW
Latitude -29.3975000 (29° 23′ 51″ S)
Longitude 147.8683300 (147° 52′ 6″ E)

The lake to the west is often dry but there’s good scrub to the NE of the Castlereagh Hwy and a small dam to the SE.

No camping is advised here, though there are tracks in the wider area that may get you far enough off the main road.
