Survey Point Swamp Lakefield NP north Qld
Latitude -14.7438900 (14° 44′ 38″ S)
Longitude 144.0302800 (144° 1′ 49″ E)

About 4km NW of the Hann Crossing camping area, the swamp’s water level is variable and dictates the quality of the birding here, there is a permanent problem of stock destroying the water’s edge, but the birds seem to have got used to the damage, and generally is a good birding spot.
