Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

Sidle track from carpark at Ngamoko Road climbing gently towards the tops. Starts off across farm paddock - walk the obvious grass track to the gate before entering the park and following the fence line around several large bends. Past pt 880 the track enters bush interspersed with more open sections. Track mostly pretty clear - starting to slump in some places, but generally pretty easy walking.
