NOTE: In late 2019, NT Government directed the owners to close the site to all tourism. Mineral collecting and fossilicking are now strictly prohibited. This venture started in 2011 on a newly discovered zebra rock deposit on Newry pastoral station. Technically its in the Northern Territory, but has been included here with the other zebra rock deposits which are just within Western Australia. The deposit contains zebra rock, primordial stone and ribbon stone, all marketing names for various coloured siltstones. The site is 70 kilometres east of Kununurra, 5 kilometres along the Duncan Road south of the Victoria Highway, and 5 kilometres along a station road west of Duncan Road.
The property formerly contained a campground, safari tents, fishing trips, wetland wildlife tours around the eastern edge of Lake Argyle, that would appeal especially to bird watchers, mine tours, four wheel drive tours.
No collecting of any kind is permitted per Ruth Duncan (June 2022), Zebra Rock Mine, Duncan Rd, NT.
