About 15km SE of Timber Creek township on the Great Northern Hwy the road crosses the creek, the site is based on the crossing. The springs run well into the dry season with pools after that. There is excellent habitat along the creekline.
Camp rating 6 down a small track 100m to the west side of the creek, there are no facilities, and room for only one or two campers, and it’s too close to the busy road.
