Follow downstream for about 45 minutes from where the track enters from the Kiwi Burn. A sign indicates the land is private and you must stay within 20 metres of the river. After another 20 minutes track markers on the opposite side show the start of the 2 hour bush track through to the Upukerora River. This section of track can be very wet and muddy.

Once in the Upukerora Valley, the Army Hut (4 bunks) is sited about 1 hour up the valley, on the true left of the river.
