There is no access to the lake here on the Suttor Development Rd, so if the water level is low, you won’t see any waterbirds, there is a creek here that the surrounding bush birds use to water if the water level is low in the lake. The site is about 1.5km from the Collinsville Rd junction.
No camping here, but there is a good free camp on the edge of the lake a short way down the Suttor Development Rd
