Head down marshy flats from Bull Creek Hut to the old 4WD track and follow it north onto terraces above. The track drops to the Poulter and ends 1km later. Cross the Poulter to flats on the western bank (knee deep, easy in low flows, but impassable after rain).

1km up the Poulter from the track-end a clearly defined valley drops from the range to the west. The spur immediately north of this gives good access onto the Poluter Range.

Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

Head down the Poulter flats, crossing to the eastern bank where grassy flats start. Pick up the 4WD track crossing these flats before dropping to Bull Creek. Bull Creek Hut is 200m upriver on the northern bank across marshy flats,
