The path leaves Crusoe Road and follows the creek again but it's easier to stick to the road
Right on to the gravel on Carcoola Drive and into the forest.

First left on to Brown Road (gravel). There are many unsignposted and unmapped tracks through the forest. Just stick to the obvious main route.
