Follow Kempton Road for three kilometres before continuing straight ahead on what becomes Long Gully Road, a further two kilometres will bring you to a carpark adjacent to Long Creek. Drive or walk a further 300 metres south along the road to a pedestrian gate in the fence, from here follow the signs for 750 metres to the site itself. There will be no excursion on 5 April (Easter Sunday).
