Longitude 139.4697200 (139° 28′ 11″ E)

Right by the side of the Tea Tree Rd about 18km south of the junction with North Flinders Rd, this bore seems to constantly leak, the resultant little stream creates a little lush wetland that attracts birds to drink at. There is dense shrubbery around the wet spot and a few trees along the otherwise dry watercourse. It is a working cattle station so cattle use the site too. Lake Frome is some 10km to the east.

Camp rating 7 There is no established camp here, but it’s possible to get a short way off the quiet Rd, be prepared to be visited by cattle during the night
