It is expected to give an indication of the suality of wate= from the unnamed drainage system to the west, 3nd also from the abattoir works on Mudginberri station. This is a permanent billabong. This site was first sampled by WD ES in April, 1980. It was not sampled by \'IRE or !1_'\EC. The gauge board was installed October 1978. 57 ISLAND BILLABONG:- This is the largest billabong in the Mudginberri corridor. It is readily accessible and is a popular recreation area.
