Found this after a few months of searching.

Its a large area and covers many private properties but interesting nonetheless.

There are very few accessible crators of large impacts left in Australia, and most finds of small event impacts are pure chance. Seeing this event was relatively recent and many pieces recovered in the aftermath, I find this mapping quite compelling.

According to the supporting info this link was taken from the trajectory was from the south east heading north west. Larger pieces were found in the lower right as it appears here to smaller pieces to the top left generally speaking. It is suspected just before impact there was 3 main pieces the meteorite broke into, and it looks that way in the recorded map.
