The track begins easily enough and passes along a high forested terrace above the river. The track then turns up a hill and begins a steep ascent along the line of the old bush tramway which once ferried coal from a mine site above and on down Woolshed Creek.

There’s little left now, save for a few wrecked coal trucks lying upended in the forest. They make an interesting diversion before the ascent continues.

The track follows the creek the rest of the way to the hut, which has 26 bunks.
