Latitude-14.7008333 (14° 42′ 3″ S)
Longitude132.0694444 (132° 4′ 10″ E)

On the Victoria Hwy about 22km SW of Katherine, the site is on the old road which is slowly decaying and can be accessed from either north or south from the corresponding rest area. The river is seasonal but may have waterholes in the vicinity into the dry season. There’s pretty good habitat here.

Camp rating 7 this is not an established campsite, there is a small area on the south side of the causeway, this is not a through road with the causeway too badly damaged to get across
