Follow the gravel / grassy Lawrence River flats downriver, picking up a 4WD track after a while just before the private Hermitage Hut.

Lawrence Hut can be hard to find – it is incorrectly shown on old 260 series maps, and lies on the north side of the next tongue of beech north of the marked location (correct location shown by the blue marker on this site). The hut is at the back of a grassy terrace on the west of the river, and cannot be seen from the riverbed / track. When you find it, it is a pleasant 6-bunk forestry service hut, with pioneer stove (so no good for cooking), tank water and toilet.

River crossings are generally ankle to knee deep in normal flows, and the riverbed is frequently dry lower down.
