Hi Jill,
Here is what Ross Dearing comments about what John said in his reply
to you.

Albert, we visited the site some years back in conjunction with a
trip to Coonabarabran. It is a reserve and one is not allowed to
collect from there. Interesting that a trench is about to be dug
(depending on how current this information is), Ian Percival may be
able to tell us more on Thursday night. The trips mentioned are
presumably Gondwana Dreaming which are expensive (I understand) and
you are not allowed to keep anything you find (we have picked up a
few members who joined after having been on a GD trip). From
memory, NP&WS manages the site and will accompany visitors to it
(the site itself is on private property).
