In August 2015 it was
In August 2015 it was possible to drive to Bristed Stream in a factory standard 4wd. The track was reasonable throughout with 2 bumpy crossings of side creeks. The route through the station was not open but we entered the river bed at the intake for the Wilberforce canal and followed a well marked track thereafter. about 2 hrs from the end of the dirt road to Bristed Stream. From there it was about 1.5 hrs walk to Urquharts Hut.The Wilberforce River was low and easy to cross - it had been 48 hrs since the last storm. Driving in this side would be a great way to access all the unfrequented peaks in the Rolleston Range, as well as giving access to Greenlaw and Murchison (which we climbed from the Wilberforce).
