Croesus Track

Location
About 1 km past Blackball on a sealed road to Roa, a signpost pointing right indicates the shingle road to the Smoke-ho car park and the start of Croesus Track.
Description

An east west crossing from Blackball is recommended over Croesus as it ascends to 1200 metres via a well-formed and fairly easy track. The Upper half of the western section is quite steep and rough before decending onto a good benched track again down to Barrytown. Snow poles mark the route across the open tops. It should not be attempted in poor weather.
