Upriver from the Chromium Mines track junction, the benched track continues to sidle low on the river banks. As the valleysides steepen the track climbs and sidles 10-15m above the river, but the gradient is still easy. A signpost, just before the Hacket Creek / Browning River confluence, marks the junction of the tracks to Hacket Hut and Browning Hut.

Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

Downriver from the Hacket Hut / Browning Hut track junction, the benched track sidles low on the valleyside until it reaches a signposted turnoff for the Chromium Mines track.
