At the point where the Manari Rd meets an unnamed creek north of Broome, there is good scrub here. The creek is often blocked by a sand bar creating a pond behind the bar of brackish water. 4WD is necessary in the reserve. A track leads off east beside the creek, and another down to the beach, please do not drive the latter and add to the damage that 4wds do to the small organisms that are crucial to the waders that feed here .
Camp rating 10 best on the flat area above the creek where some humpies used to be. Be aware of the mozzies. There are no services here
