Wow! What a place. About a k north of Elliott, turn left and drive 18k through sand, mud, clay, bull dust, corrugations and then arrive at this absolutely stunning very large waterhole (it feeds in to Lake Woods). We brought the van in, planned to stay 1 night, but ended up staying for 2. We weren't alone. We met up with Glen and June from the Marbles and Pebbles, and shared a campfire.
The place was absolutely teaming with wildlife. Thousands of Pellicans, Spoonbills, Cormorants, Egretts and all manner of other varieties were feeding on the fish morning and night. They would team up, and school the fish then turn turtle, dive or other and simply feed. The waterhole is a reserve on the Newcastle Waters station and aside from the rough ride in, is well worth the trip.
