Sullivan’s tank Qld

Survey Point Ssullivan’s Tank Qld
Latitude -28.5641700 (28° 33′ 51″ S)
Longitude 141.7402800 (141° 44′ 25″ E)

The site is just off Orientos or Santos-Tickalara Rd where the road does a jink to the west around the tank about 10km NW of the junction with the Cameron Corner Rd. The tank usually has water in it and a bit of vegetation in the area is enough to attract the birds, but it’s all about what water there is in the area.

No camping is advised here
