From the hut, the track crosses to the TR and heads down the valley. Several guts are crossed and a gap under boulders negotiated before reaching a swing bridge that crosses back to the TL.

Once having cleared the trees and moved on to the valley floor, the track picks up an old vehicle track and swings around a low terrace. Just before the (indistinct) track to 25 Mile hut, cross 25 Mile Creek.

Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

The track crosses 25 Mile Creek and continues up the valley, rounding a right-hand bend - an old vehicle track can be followed to the treeline.

After crossing to the TR on a swing bridge, the track begins to climb for the first time. Through a gap in rocks and across several small guts, the track crosses back to the TL just below Shelter Rock Hut.
