Water at the Cathedral Ranges

Hi all,
I'm planning a trip to the Cathedrals this weekend, doing the full north and south circuit in a clockwise direction, camping at The Farmyard.
There is no water on the map at The Farmyard - has anyone been there recently that knows otherwise? If not, I'll carry for 2 days.
Cheers,
Tim

I was at cooks mill a couple weeks ago. Didn't go up the jawbone but it was very dry so I'd play it safe and bring water with you.

Hi Tim,
You can walk downhill from the farmyard campsite about 5 minutes to a spring. Marked as Jawbone creek on the map.
Things have been pretty dry this Summer though...

I live not far from the Cathedrals. It rained last night and it's raining now (around 4mm so far) so I reckon the spring donktec mentioned is filling up nicely.

Had an awesome weekend. For anyone else's info,there was no water at the Farmyard. Tanks with water at Ned's Gully and Sugarloaf Saddle, but none between there on the razorback.

It's an awesome place! Busy too, no doubt. Glad to hear you didn't die of thirst.
