S25.18144 E148.39496 . North side of rest stop there is shelter and seats, track alongside goes in 300+ meters to nice level camp area. Can't be seen from highway. Suitable for overnight stop only. This area is on the outer boundry of the Walleroo wilderness Retreat.
The station owner came to see if we were Ok, very interseting man. In the old days the stock route from Nth Qld to Victoria ran thru his property, along the track was a cave that the drovers camped in,they placed their names and dates that they visited in bottles and then put on a shelf in the cave. He is starting up a similar idea for the modern day traveller, there is a couple of empty bundy bottles in a hollow log at start of track, so if you do visit ,put your details in the bottle.
