On the Great Northern Hwy, there is a park bay here but no facilities. The lakes are usually dry and take heavy rain to fill up, as they were in 2008 when I first came through here, in contrast the 2019 survey had 3sp. There is a ring of trees and shrubs around the lake shore, otherwise the vegetation is sparse. The lake’s name is Lake Nallan.
Camp rating 6, there is a track around the lake to the south to get you off the busy highway some, there are no facilities
