“Central Australia” is a huge, vast area, but there are towns and stations even in all that isolation. I would appreciate the name of the nearest town so I can find it on my maps of Australia. “Central Australia” is like saying the US “Midwest.” Or, more appropriate, “the Sahara.” Cheers from South Central Texas

The two impact areas are located in the East Warburton Basin and the WestWarburton Basin, and a quick search does not reveal any large towns nearby -which is usually the case in the never-never.

You might do best by looking around the area of the Strzelecki Regional Reserve, right where the borders of the Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, and New South Wales come together. Great lot of area there so you might have a bit of looking to do before you can locate them.

Sturt National Park is in the general area as well.

There is another way, almost as useful. Note that the corner of three "territoris is shown on the map. That should also show on any other maps on line, etc.
AND
There are ticks of longitude along the bottom of the map.

Map Link

You should be able to orient yourelf quite well that way, having a useful scale.
