Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

From the signposted junction a poled tramping track crosses grass and scrub flats on the south side of the Mason River. The river is crossed on a swingbridge and the track follows flats up coppermine creek, eventually joining a 4WD track. The creek is crossed once - ok in normal flows. Coppermine Creek hut sits on low terraces on the northern bank, out of sight of the river. The route is poled.
