From Toka highpoint a poled route follows the Ngamoko Range SSW for 1.5km to reach pt1380. Here the poled route swings west to become Shorts Track, dropping to Limestone Road in the lowlands to the west, The point where the Ngamoko Range route leaves the track and continues South along the range is not marked but is obvious in clear visibility. In poor conditions, you need to start heading south off the track about 50m after it swings due west. A reasonable ground trail is present at first.

Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey
