Split Billabong/Corduroy Ck Normanton Qld

Survey Point Split Billabong/Corduroy Ck Normanton Qld
Latitude -17.6611100 (17° 39′ 40″ S)
Longitude 141.1019400 (141° 6′ 7″ E)

The second water crossing out of Normanton on the Karumba Rd is Corduroy Ck, it’s a bit of a disappointing site, the wetlands aren’t all that productive, and there’s little else in the way of quality habitat. At low tide there is evidence of the original log slat ford across the creek on the east side.

No camping advised here.
