Information

200 Mile Tank Rest Area. 2 large water catchment tanks (with graffiti) and bins. Very large clearing, open area not much shade.In the 1930's prior to the construction of the NW Coastal Hwy, these tanks were one of a series of 8 tanks that were positioned along the "Ajana Track" from Carnarvon to Geraldton. Designed to provide water to travellers and to help measure distance. This tank site marks 200 miles from Carnarvon (or the 113mile from Geraldton). By the 1960s the road was more well travelled and most of the tanks were removed.Using this site as an overnight rest stop is permissible. Please use responsibly. Water is unreliable.
