Hi Mick,
I know the bore that you are talking about. A good point to make here is that any person that undertakes any serious outback trip, must plan their water requirement correctly, and not rely on any bores for topping up supplies. As with any bore, the water quality would most times always be the same, as the aquifers from where the water is drawn do not change in quality, except where there is high rainfall to so call flush the water out.
Also for medical reasons, there could be serious health problems in taking water from an unknown source. The best way is to plan your trip, as you have done. Any new comers to outback travel should travel with someone who has experience in remote travel.

Cheers

Too right Stephen.

I was amazed on this trip to discover just how many water points marked on maps (the Hema in particular) were either unserviceable or producing undrinkable water. I hope more people here will post them with their trip reports for the benefit of us all.

Cheers

In fact, if people where to use the Places system to provide the details against the exact waypoint then we can "sell" this info back the mapping publishers! Places is the ideal section on ExplorOz to make notations about conditions as this automatically feeds back into our trek notes etc. Thank you for a great post!
