Map
This one looks reasonably reachable. It appears to be directly behind a homestead but i'm sure with a bit of sweet talking we can get access considering its only 50 metres from the house. Pretty well formed unsealed track from the highway aswell.
  • Twistie is planning to be there with others around 4:30 - 5pm. Edit: I decided not to go following all the rain we had this morning. Decided the dirt road would probably be impassable in a sedan.
  • Matty will see what happens, but will probably be sans car.

Map
Looks like an Adventure™ — a kilometre hike along a creek/ravine, through the scrub near Dotswood. There's an airstrip (?) nearby, and a quarry just up the road. Hi-res Google Maps data puts a dirt track near the point. Could be private property, but looks pretty open. Incidentally, it's about 3km north-west of the awesome impact crater I spotted in satellite images a while ago.
