Description

This otherwise unprepossessing scrub site has for years been prospective for rare Grey Honeyeater although no records were entered for 2025 on eBird.

The site is relatively open with spinifex and scattered scrub offering habitat for a good suite of commonly seen Alice Springs area birds.
