Whale Stream

Up the stream bed with multiple crossings - either from the highway, or obtain access from Ferintosh Station 03 4350512 to walk old farm track on true right. After 700m this turns into a small swampy track; just before being forced into the creek, watch for a taped gap on the left, which leads to a re-cut trail on the farm track bench, emerging into the creekbed close to 2km from the road. Whale Stream Hut is now non-existent. A mediocre bivvy rock exists on terraces on true right just below the forks; however better accommodation is found camping on the lovely flats just above the forks in the Northern branch (topo waypoint). Affords a great view of Ferintosh; arguably the most aesthetic peak in the range. 2-3 hrs to here.
