Follow Kay Creek, rock hopping in the stream in its upper reaches, down to flatter terrain. Extensive dense scrub covers the large flat area at Point 945 and is now best bypassed staying in the stream. A marker consisting of yellow farm pipe over a waratah stands on a small grassy flat beside the trueleft of the stream bed near the 920m contour. Climb out of the stream here onto the true right side and thread through scrub to look for a large orange triangle on the main tree line. Kay Creek hut is a short distance down the hill in the trees.
