About 25km along the Tanami Rd from the Sturt Hwy, the well is just to the south of the road through an unlocked gate. When there is water in the tank this site can be absolutely abuzz with birds, of late the ground cover looks to be mostly weeds, with a disappointingly degraded look about the site.
Camp rating 7 higher when there’s water in the dam
