Site not assessed. Eatha Springs consists of three pools of fresh water which bubble out of the ground on the edge of the coastal salt lake west of Cockleshell Gully. During dry seasons, fresh water kept running into the lake, keeping several hundred acres under water.
The fresh water from Eatha Springs was used to water stock being driven or shepherded along the Old Stock Route or the Old North Road. Stock from Grigson’s Cockleshell Gully property was also watered here. Waterbirds were also prevalent around the springs.
