The first runs SSW from a point 50m SE of the palisaded homestead NT36NW 10 (NT 3102 6756) for a distance of about 220m, before turning WSW for a further 150m (NT 3074 6730). The second extends towards the E from the W boundary of Melville Nurseries (NT 3106 6742), turning to cross the first at right angles about 130m S of the home stead, and then continuing towards the WNW (NT 3078 6753).
