With careful observation the pad may be found off to the left, initially up a slippery 1m climb along side the road. The pad enters the rain forest and is a flat walk for a while till it gets close to the escarpments, then descends following the escarpment just on the western side of the ridge. The pad along this section is relatively easy to follow with just a bit of tree falls to make route finding difficult. There are some tape markers along the way, but I wouldn't rely on them. The pad drops off to the west side of the escarpments to meet up with Gradys Creek.
Water is found down at the creek.
Total time approx 2-2.5 hours From Gradys Ck. There is one section where the track heads suddenly to the left up a gully, otherwise the pad is easy to follow. The pad from Antarctic Beech finally meets up with the Border track, west of Tweed Trig, remains from the old sign post may be found here. The Trig marks the point where the McPherson Range and the Border meets the escarpments of the Tweed Ranges. The map is marked wrong here.
