Upriver of the former walkwire at Golden Point the Landsborough remains tight for 1km, with travel on steep rocky banks and a couple of boulder-scrambles required. Travel on the southern bank is recommended.

After 1km the valley opens to first shingle flats and later broad tussock terraces. Several sidecreeks require crossing - none are a problem in normal conditions but several could flood.

Fraser Hut (Creswicke Flat Hut) sits out of sight at the back of a terrace at the downriver end of Creswicke Flat. Follow the bushedge after crossing Mackenzie Creek to find it.

Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

Follow the southern bank of the Landsborough downriver on broad tussock flats, crossing numerous small sidestreams. None are a problem in normal conditions but several could flood.

After 3.5km the valley narrows and travel is on steeply sloping rocky river banks (unless the river is very high n which case you'd be bushbashing the tangled faces above). 1km into the gorge, an obvious spur drops from the NW opposite, and old anchor-points mark all that remains of the former walkwire at Golden Point.
