Location :

The site is located 235km directly east of the capital of the Northern Territory, Darwin, and 9.06km south-east of the settlement of Cannon Hill. Although Cannon Hill is located within the Kakadu National Park, the site in question is located just outside by about 2km,

Figure 1 shows the location of the site within the Northern Territory and in relationship to Darwin. Figure 2 shows the track leading across the main road from Cannon Hill to the site,

This track is quite treacherous and should only be undertaken in a All-Wheel drive vehicle. As this site is located this close to the Kakadu National Park, there are therefore good road connection into the park, up until the tourist facilities, about 70km from Cannon Hill. Darwin also has an airport, so a flight to Darwin, and then a car ride will give access to the site. Below is a table out lining the distances by air and by car to get to the site from all capital cities, and major towns in the Northern Territory.

These values are guides only, and most will be underestimated.

These figures are also approximate, and the distance from Darwin to the site needs to be added to allow for the entire distance
