The western and central blocks may be approached from Kaniva, the central and eastern blocks from Nhill and Kiata, and a good gravel road leads to the Wimmera River section of the eastern block from Dimboola. Similarly, bitumen road access is possible from the south via Mitre, Gymbowen, Goroke and Edenhope or Booroopki.
