Kungku Kamu Waterholen- just north of Winton.

Once again Wiki Camps has come up trump and allowed us to find this waterhole.

Not only could we visit the water hole we could camp nearby - and it was free.

There is a lot of aboriginal art work around the waterhole. Apparently it was an important meeting place. The water hole has filled up with sand and gravel and is no longer a permanent water source. The signage suggests that the cause is the introduction of hoofed animals the increase erosion. I wonder also if the aborigines used to maintain it as well.
