FoHT Trail Development team inspected the tank in August. Water level at 75%.
FOHT Trail Development Team visited this site 21/04/21 water tank level 40%.
There on Friday 23.4.22, good water pressure and lovely water but only about 25% in shelter tank, no tank on toilet. Some slow, very rocky, hilly fence walking as you head south from here. Test your feet!
Walker reported that the water tank is empty.
Stopped here for an early lunch was water in the tank not sure how much. Looked like a great spot with lots of space for tents.
Used this site for a lunch break for I was walking onto Hawker from Calabrinda Creek camp site on 3rd July. Plenty of water in tank which helped to refill my supply. Another toilet – bonus. Plenty of sites to set up tent and firewood aplenty.
Had lunch here 4/9/15 on way to Calabrinda from Hawker. I do not think many camp here. ENORMOUS spider in loo. Water tank full. This is a tank where one must turn the tap clockwise.
Had lunch here on 20/5/15. Sandy ground was a great change to the rocks. looks like a good spot to camp. Plenty of water in tank.
Hello All,
