Survey Point Gordon Ck Camp Iron Range NP Qld
Latitude -12.7130600 (12° 42′ 47″ S)
Longitude 143.2983300 (143° 17′ 54″ E)

This is my favourite site in the park, pre-booking is essential, there are no facilities (toilets are at Cooke Hut camp about 1km west). It has a small track that leads up into the forest, as well as good access to the creek and of course along the road. Birding is difficult as they are either high up in the trees or skulking deep in the forest, so knowing your calls is very helpful.
