The roads leading to the location are generally accessible, but be prepared for some unpaved sections as you approach the property. Parking is available on-site.

A taxi from Morwell to Wonyip would be approximately a 40-minute drive. Taxi fares in Victoria are regulated and consist of a flag fall plus a per-kilometer charge. Expect to pay around $100-$150 for a one-way trip from Morwell, depending on traffic and surcharges.
