How to Get There

On the NORTH side of the river. Ignore GPS if it takes you south. Proceed to waypoint on the Kidman Way, between the two bridges at Darlington Pont. Turn west directly opposite the entrance to the caravan park and follow the dirt road. You will pass a sawmill on your left. Continue for about 7km, taking note of the green #1 pegs when you see them. If there is a fork in the road turning off to the left, continue on or take the right fork until you reach the destination. You can then turn left towards the river. Watch for black cattle wandering in the bush. They can be difficult to see and sometimes are unpredictable in their movements.
