Longitude 143.7366700 (143° 44′ 12″ E)

About 100km south of Wanaaring on the Wilcannia Rd, the lake is to the east of the road, it’s a good sized lake, but is usually dry. A small loop track leads off the main road just north of the creek, and the site is based at the end of that. It’s then a short walk down to the lake. The creekline has a line of trees, and there is a farm dam just north of the creek.
