• Overview

  Diamond Bog Lake is one of the South Australia waters in South Australia. It stands 13 metres above sea level. The water covers some 94 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. The shoreline runs about 5.5 km, so it pays to pick a stretch and stay with it. It is one of the smaller waters we list in South Australia. Roxby Downs lies 384 km from the water. Broken Hill lies 474 km off, Coober Pedy another 484 km. No regional boundary comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Tackle & Baits

It is recorded as intermittent, which means the basin empties in dry spells. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Should this one be busy, Jack Lake is 20 km off. Treat access at Diamond Bog Lake as something to verify.
