Follow the main road for 14.2 km (stay right at all junctions, and stay on the most travelled road). At 14.2 km, turn right at the fork, and follow this road for 1.9 km. Then turn right and follow the Monk Creek Road for another 2.5 km. At this junction, turn left, and follow a very rough road for 3.5 km to the site. This last section of the road has slumped in spots, so you may wish to walk into the site. A 4wd is recommended if you choose to drive.
