Description

Bush camp managed by Parks Vic with no toilets. This is a significant site in that it is the beginnings of conservation for the Little Desert National Park. This is not a serviced park, so please take all your rubbish home with you and respect the fragile environment. Accessible by 4WD only. Ideal to visit after rain, or from April to October. Loose sandy tracks and boggy when wet. Abundant with wildlife when waterhole is full. Middle Dam, or Broughton's Waterhole (4WD only) is a splendid example of pioneer initiative. Owned by P.L. Williams, it was dug in 1879, to create a permanent water supply for stock. It differs from most local dams in that the excavated soil was removed from the site.
