About 2km east of Coolgardie on the Great Eastern Hwy, the main attraction is a dam that may have water in it, but hasn’t for the last surveys. There is surrounding woodland that is also worth a wander around. The gorge is little more than a well vegetated gully below the dam.
Camp rating 4. There used to be a no camping sign here. There are no facilities
