Homely and nicely tucked away in the bush, but nothing to write home about. Cute fireplace with a grill perfect for putting pots onto :)

Nice and tidy hut. 1h30 from carpark. 15 to 20 rivers crossing on slippery rocks. Ankle deep when I was there but can be higher after rain. The track is little bit overgrown by section but not too bad. The first 500m is in the riverbed, then after that follow the big triangle to find where to enter the track. It seems to have a campground at the carpark.
