Information

Durba Springs (Jurrpa) is a popular camping area on the Canning Stock Route between Well 16 and Well 18. You will need to collect firewood well before (suggest half a day) camping here. It has ample room, stretching out alongside the creek on grassy banks beneath the red rock walls. The water is usable for washing etc, even drinkable but water treatment is always recommended. People swim in the water and rangers use herbicide in rehabilitating vegetation, all of which lowers the quality of the water. Better drinking water at Well 17 just around the corner. There is an elevated toilet block at back of camp with 2 rota-loo toilets. Here you will also find a donation box and commemorative plaques. Rock paintings and drovers initials can be found carved on gorge walls near campsites. There is also a walk track for access further along gorge to the SE.
