From the warratahs at the track junction, a poled route drops ESE through the scrub. Once into the tall stuff, the track is cut and marked and continues good all the way to the river at Ngamoko Hut.

Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

A marked, cut, signposted track climbs behind Ngamoko hut to the Ngamoko Range. Through the bush the track is good but steep. Once into the scrub it remains cut and poled until just east of pt1350. The track junction east of the summit is marked with 3 warratahs amidst the leatheleaf.
