      How to find the site: From the main entrance at the bottom of Mike's Pass go east along the main road to Winterton for approx 3 km. Leave the main road and continue along the Jeep track to the Field Rangers Outpost for about 2 km until the third tributary is reached. From there walk up the slope in a southerly direction for about 800 meters until the lower of the cave sandstone bands is reached. Continue along this sandstone band in a southerly direction. The site is about 50 meters before the next tributary in a SSE facing overhang.
