Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

Above Basin Hut, Basin Creek starts broad on shingle but soon the valley becomes narrow and frequent crossings are required (knee deep in normal flows) of the fast-flowing stream on loose rock.

Chamois Creek is reached after 2km.

Above Chamois Creek the valley reverts to tussock and rock/moss/lichen and travel is more pleasant.
