Getting there
|
Access from the Rainbow Valley Roadend (past Rainbow Homestead) is 16km (4-5 hours) to the hut. Track unmarked down the Rainbow Valley, however there are orange markers once you get past the gorge. Hut is a bit hard to see at first. Once you cross the mostly dry riverbed coming down from the left, there is a clearing. The hut is hidden behind some trees. |
