I recently visited SGC. Prior to the trip I made inquiries everywhere including this site on what is required to get there. I got various different answers and wanted to relate my experience for those who may visit in the future.

You need a permit from the Ngaanyatjarra Lands Council that specifically includes the corner.


The Hema Maps say it is $100 per vehicle and you have to ring a number in Wingellena. That number never answered in 3 months prior to the trip.
Some people on this and other web sites say you need to pay various amounts, ranging from $50 per person.
The Lands council don't know the procedure and direct you to the local community.

However once we got there we were told if you have the right permit then you are ok. They didn't even know who you would pay if you had to. ( jokes about credit card machine at the corner etc).

Anyway once there there are 2 markers, the right one is the one 50m to the north. It is missing the top plate at the moment.

Hard to get to but that completes every corner for us...
