The Lodge's main entrance at 1457 Nhill-Harrow Road, on Google Maps

VicSouth is held at the Little Desert Nature Lodge about 16km south of the town of Nhill, on the northern edge of the Little Desert National Park. Nhill itself is on the main highway (A8) approximately midway between Adelaide and Melbourne. Driving time to Nhill at legal speeds is about 5 hours from Adelaide's Old Glen Osmond Tollgate or from Melbourne's Westgate Bridge.
Note that the highway has heavy vehicle traffic on it 24/7, and long stretches of the highway are single lane.
To get to the Lodge from Nhill, follow the Western Highway (A8) to the southwest end of the town, then turn onto the Nhill-Harrow Road (C206) and follow it southwards for about 14.5km. Then look for the Lodge's vermin-proof boundary fence and main entrance gate on the eastern side of the road.

The entrance gate's coordinates are:

Geographical coordinates for the main observing area are 36° 27' 16" S  141° 40' 07" E, and it is about 160 metres above sea level.
Magnetic North was 9.84° east of True North on 1 Jan 2020.

If you don't have a car (or a ride in one) then bus-and-bike is an alternative. Most buses on the Adelaide-Melbourne routes stop in Nhill and can carry bicycles as luggage. The bitumen road from Nhill to the Lodge is almost flat but it is not wide, so ensure you and your bicycle are highly visible.
