The Hartebreak ridge to Totara Saddle part of this track hadsrecently be en cleared and marked as an initiative of the club and largely done by Ian Morris.
Access is off the Whispering Falls Track, going up a steep ri dge between the Miner River and Mineral stream to point 447, around P530 Vi a "Ian's diversion" to a flattish area we have named Beerbottle flat. From here we enter the beech forest and proceed at a more gentle incline till th e last steep grunt up to the Rocks Hut - Totara Saddle track. At Totara Sad dle we go to Browning hut then out via Hacket Hut. There will be wet feet c rossing Hacket Creek on the Whispering Falls track and again coming down fr om Browning to Hacket hut . This is a relatively long day trip.
