Information

Located a short distance east of the town this free camping area for self contained RVs is located by a stream with good waterholes among a grove of trees recently planted by the council to provide shelter. The trees are regularly irrigated so don't get bogged driving between the rows,

The Council employs a permanent host with who new residents must register. The limit of stay is 72 hours. The place is popular but there is plenty of space - unless you insist on a water view in which case it is more limited.

We stayed there May 2105 for one night. It is a very handy place close to town, with many sites near a waterhole. It is intended only for rigs with self contained toilet etc as there are no facilities. There is a notice to register on arrival but there was no-one on duty to register with. There is a sealed walking/cycling track which leads into town (about 1 Km). Site is close to highway and railway line but traffic is light except for the occasional road train. It is like an oasis in the parched outback.
