From Sydney via Great Western Highway. Go through Katoomba and on to Mt Victoria. At the (only) set of traffic lights turn right and proceed to Bell along the Darling Causeway 6 k's where you turn left ont to Hartley Vale Road, and go down the hill 4.3 k's until you get to the two storey Comet Inn.
Via Richmond and the Bells Line of Road. Go through Bilpin and Mt Tomah then on to Bell. At the intersection in Bell turn left to Mt Victoria along the Darling Causeway 4 k's. Turn right at Hartley Vale Road and go down the hill 4.3 k's until you get to the Comet Inn.
The Comet Inn will be on your right. Opposite is a gate where there are several letter boxes. Proceed along this dirt road at say 40kph as there are often kangaroos along the way. Once you cross the cattle grid you are entering the Crucible property at 2.7 k's.
The main house where the workshop will be held is way over on the left 1.3 k away, this time keeping a look out for cattle as well, and the four speed humps on the last stretch of road. The “Lodge” is up the hill on the right as you re-enter the bush, and it is along here that parking spaces are provided.
We suggest you drive down to the house, turn around, and then return to park your car.
