Information

This is the site of the actual rock hole that that Len Beadell documented when examining the area in which to take the Sandy Blight Junction Road. Here Len found a small rock basin containing crystal-clear water, which is known to the local people by both the name Bungabiddy or Pangkupirri Rock Hole. Len Beadell ensured that his new road passed close by the water hole for the benefit of future travellers. To reach the waterhole walk from the end of the access track/camp area about 300m. At the waterhole there are some very old Aboriginal rock paintings, so please do not touch.
