Duck dam Undara Qld

Survey Point Duck Dam Undara Qld
Latitude -18.1800000 (18° 10′ 48″ S)
Longitude 144.6236100 (144° 37′ 25″ E)

I think a better name for this is cattle dam, as they regularly trash the edges of the dam and the surrounding area, the trees do survive but the rest of the habitat depends on how well managed the cattle are. The site is just off the road into Undara down a small unmarked track that is about 7km from the Savannah Way Hwy1.

Camp rating 5 there is no established camp here and often cattle.
