    We followed the tracks trying to get away from the road noise. Okay for a night over when you run out of time.

    As described except that there are no tracks leading into the bush due to the gas/water pipe and railway track.

    Great rest area, with some shaded spots between trees. There were quite a few other campers, but there's plenty of space. No facilities except rubbish bins, but perfect for the night - close to Port Augusta too!

    Construction works onsite but still spots to camp. Fairly quiet & ok for an overnighter.

    Signs announcing its precence are covered due to road works going on close by, but it is certainly not closed. Plenty of room. We parked back away from road near water pipeline. Good overnite spot.

    Construction work close to the spot but still possible to camp. Lot of dust and near the highway... One table, nobody around, it's ok.
