Following the track from Mid Taipo Hut (in the direction of Dillon Hut) until you reach Hura Creek. When you drop down into the creek look upstream 20-30m and you will see the start of the track over the hill.
Track climbs up a mossy, wet, steep and crumbly ex-creek-bed for 2 hours before beginning to flatten out.
Track through here is fairly overgrown (4/19). Slowly wends it's way down towards Dunns Creek, where you have to cross over and through a marshy flat before the hut itself.
Hutbook dates back to '91, an indication of the scarce use. Seems plenty get rained in here.
