Following recommendations from the Consulting Engineer, Department of Industry, Industries Assistance Branch, an inspection was made of a clay deposit which outcrops on the banks of Willochra Creek immediately North West of the town site of Simmonston in the hundred of Kanyaka, some 20 miles North North East of Quorn. The clay was reported by Mr. A.J. Nicholls of Belair to occur on Sections 100, 508 and 509 Hundred Kanyaka. The exposures visited during the recent inspection lie on the eastern bank of Willochra Creek and within portion of a stock route reserve flanking the eastern boundary of Section 507 and the southern boundary of Section 80, Hundred Kanyaka, about 1 mile north of the centre of the deserted town site. Nearest railway siding is Gordon, 8 miles to the South East, claimed to be accesible by rough track.
