Good to know
This site is 4WD access only. Extreme heat over summer periods requires plenty of drinking water and a communication plan. Phone reception can be located at the nearby Big Billy lookout tower in the camping area. This site has basic picnic facilities including picnic tables and Gas BBQ and Toilet facilities. Bore water is available from the storage tank but not suitable for drinking.
About this picnic area
Located between the rolling Mallee sand dunes, the Big Billy Bore Picnic Area is a popular place to break your drive, relax and have a picnic. Situated next to a low-lying natural water soak, this site provides a pleasant rest stop for nature lovers. For the adventurous traveller, an information board highlights the challenging sandy 4WD tracks located nearby. There is also information about the early history of this remote but beautiful location.
Across the road is the Big Billy Bore Campground which offers remote dispersed camping, with toilet facilities, gas BBQ and a short walk to a stunning lookout tower (via the Big Billy Bore Track) to capture the vast Mallee terrain. This is also a good location for phone reception in an otherwise uncontactable remote area.
