Getting to the range
We're the last property on Amamoor Creek Road - about 30km past the Amamoor Post Office & Store. Use GPS to reach the store, then follow the road to its very end.
Look for the long wooden fence with SSAA "Wattle Grove Park" signs, then the gate marked 3030 with the Australian flag flying above it. Drive over the cement crossing, past our home, and follow the creek.
Please drive slowly on entry - children and pets live on the property. There's no mobile phone service at the range, so confirm your booking before you leave home.
