Information

The Oasis is found along an 800m bush track from the Burra Rock Road.

Nestled just to the north, and alongside a low granite outcrop it is a beautiful representation of a natural soak – probably modified by early prospectors in the area from the 1890’s.

A magnet for wildlife; tracks of animals surround it. A Banded Lapwing nests here. The Oasis it not one of the main tourist areas along the Burra Rock Road, so it maintains its natural attraction to the fauna.

There are artefacts from both early prospectors and that of the people who worked along the nearby Woodline in the 1920’s.

The water in the Oasis is seasonal, usually drying up over the hot summer months.

Please don’t drive upon the rock or camp there. If you need to camp, please camp away from the rock – there are some good spots nearby, adjacent to the track in.

Note that the nearest toilets are approximately 6km away at Burra Rock. Please take all your rubbish with you, and help keep the pristine natural state of the area as it is.
