From the track to 25 Mile Hut (private and in poor repair), continue down the grassy flats of the Rees Valley, picking up poles to assist crossing the boggy Arthurs Creek.

Another 2km and the obvious track leaves the river and rises to cross Muddy Creek on a made road.

Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

From the trailhead at Muddy Creek, the track descends to the valley floor. Although remaining on the TL, the track crosses several side streams - keeping your boots dry is not an option.

Poles assist your passage past a boggy section at Arthurs Creek, about 2km from the start of the tramp. Otherwise, it's a pleasant stroll (in good weather) up the grassy valley.
