Getting to Tooperang Hall
Take the Victor Harbour road to Mount Compass. Then turn left by the Mt Compass Tavern onto Nangkita Road. Follow this road for several kilometres (passing through Nangkita) until it ends in a T-junction at the Meadows to Goolwa road.
Turn right at this T-junction and continue approximately 2km southwards; passing Hunts Rd (dirt, on your left) and the Tooperang turnoff (on your right). The Hall is about 200 metres south of the Tooperang turnoff; just past the church on the left (eastern) side of the road.
Look for flashing red lights on the gateposts which mark the open gate when turning off the road. If arriving after dark, please keep your lights low (on parking lights), proceed slowly, and someone will guide you to a park.
