Horsewater Soak WA

Survey Point Horsewater Soak WA
Latitude -17.7686443 (17° 46′ 7″ S)
Longitude 122.2138337 (122° 12′ 50″ E)

North of Broome, off the Cape Leveque Rd, McGuigan Rd heads west. Follow this through the community of Coconut Well and keep heading north onto a small track that will require 4wd.  Near the very end of the road at Willies Creek, an unmarked track heads west to some mangroves at an inlet. The soak seems to be nonexistent now, but there’s good habitat here.

Not sure of the legality of camping here, there are certainly some spots to camp but no facilities.
