This is an old NZFS track. From the confluence of the Waiohine River & Dorset Creek at the 600m contour, climb up the spur in a southerly direction towards pt. 1000. The track swings east-southeast, flattens & then climbs gently to pt. 1118m. The bush is thicker at the confluence & becomes more open the further one climbs.
