It is a small entry by Diamantina standards. Supplies mean a trip to Winton, 508 km off. Adelaide is the closest city, 1001 km away. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Mapped as intermittent, it fills after rain and shrinks between. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Should this one be busy, Lake Cooninnie is 5 km off. Confirm access to Lake Teetatobie locally before you travel.
