From Woolshed Creek, follow the 4WD track south up the hill behind the hut to the gate at the first fenceline. Leave the track and follow the fenceline west as it crosses a saddle and drops down a spur. Where the fence leaves the spur, continue down the spur to broad flats at its base. Cross an initial boggy section to reach open dry flats leading west to the Stour River. The Stour Track runs up the river bank and can be seen and intersected easily.

0.5-1 hr

Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

From the Stour Forks, head west across the open untracked valley towards the northernmost spur climbing east to Woolshed Creek. There is a fenceline on the spur - making it obvious.

Cross a short boggy area to reach the base of the spur and then climb it, picking up the fenceline soon after. Two low scrubby sections exist but there are good game trails near to the fence. The fenceline intersects the Woolshed Creek 4WD track at a gate at the summit. Woolshed Crek Hut is 200m away to the north in the valley.
