On the Buntine hwy about 35km south of the Victoria Hwy the main dam is to the west. During the wet season the wetland will extend to the road and will gradually dry up towards the dam wall as the dry season unfolds. Just to the south of the low area a small track heads west to the fence where the retreated wetland can be observed. Permission should be sought before accessing the dam wall to see the larger wetland behind the wall.

Camp rating 5 down the small track, this is not an established camping area and is close to the generally quiet road.
