About 12km SE of the Ullawarra Rd and NW of Mt Augustus NP, the creek is likely to have pools long after rains. There is good habitat along the creekline despite stock having access to the area.
Camp rating 8 because it’s likely to have water and the old crossing leads to areas by the NW bank that people have camped at before, there are no facilities. 4wd is needed to access the camp past the old causeway.
