It is a caravan park, but by the photo alone, can be anywhere, as there are no major features that make it stand out.

Also another tip, make your images bigger, easier to see more like the images below details

G'day Stephen
Thought my second photo was of reasonable size, if not as clear as it could be ....... dodgy old camera.

Yes , I agree that it is a caravan park, but if you've been there it would probably ring a bell. Plenty of people there last year. You might even have an aerial shot of it.

Cheers
Jim

OK, I'm off, so I'd better come clean. It's the Maree Roadhouse campground. Full to overflowing last year with Lake Eyre flight visitors, including us.
We were there over a long weekend ......... big rodeo on, big entertainment at the pub on Saturday night, and a house across the paddock which had very loud music happening 24 hours a day, all weekend. Good times !!

Thought that with so many people visiting the Lake last year, that someone would twig where it was.

Cheers

Where is this spot?

Looks like Jim and I posted at the same time.

Another clue. My place is North of Jim’s second place too.

Cheers, John

Some more clues.

The place pictured is located on an inlet of the Arafura Sea.

The name of this spot lures fishermen.

It’s not Finke Bay but you are getting warm.

This fishing spot is located between Port Roper and Bing Bong.

Vehicle access has only been possible for about a decade, so the track to it may not appear on maps.

Had a funny feeling it was gulf country...not Arafura Sea. Know where you mean. I,ve fished it from helicopter. Worked from Nhulunbuy and spent years in choppers flying to all the aboriginal communities. Best barra I,ve ever caught are from the Roper Bar. Fished a dew comps in Groote Eylandt as well. Magnificent country, for sure.

Bigfish has it right. The location is Yarnarndu Inlet in the Gulf of Carpentaria. Access was by helicopter before the track was forged, and people still fly in by helicopter today to fish this magnificent area. It is also possible to drive there by high clearance 4WD. The major obstacles are some impressive sections of bull dust. The inlet is located on Lorella Springs Station about 80 Km from the homestead.

And what is the name that lures fishermen? Lorella Springs calls it “Secret Fishing Spot”.

More information is here -Lorella Springs fishing

Maybe this one is not so easy. Even if it does come with clues in the shot.
On which track, and near where?

But Stephen, maybe wait for 24 hours?

No takers? I did think Stephen L may have had a shot.

It is on the track sometimes described as the "Old Stuart Highway" but better known to me as the Centreline Road of the Woomera trials range. It is near Mt Eba station. The photo was taken in 2013.
"Coober Pedy" is discernible on the sign but I cannot identify the upper line which appears to be "Pimbel Creek". My searches for a creek with a similar name in this area were fruitless.

Allan
