The fossicking area is located south of the intersection of Buchanan Highway and Lajamanu Road, which is 8 km from Kalkarindji. From the intersection, travel along the Lajamanu Road for 4.1 km to a track on the right. Following this track in a south-westerly direction you will arrive at the boundary of the declared fossicking area, although this boundary is not signposted. Refer to the site map for co-ordinates. You will also note on this site map the location of the granted mineral lease. You are permitted to enter this area using the track; however you are not permitted to venture off the track within the mineral lease area, unless you have consent from the owner.

Further south on the same track, from the grid next to No. 6 Bore, follow the track south for 5.5 km through a wire gate, and then another 13.5 km to a double steel gate. Go through the gate and 2.3 km further on there is a fork in the track. The track on the right leads to a creek crossing (0.9 km), where some specimens may be found on the southern side of the creek, and to the right of the track.

Camping Allowed Camping: Although "bush camping" is allowed, please note that there are no facilities on site. Campers in the fossicking area must provide their own water as the water in the area is suitable only for cattle.
