Hi Penguin. Well when you drive up the rough track just off the Westrope Road with the track start signed to the right,you keep going for a few more metres to where vehicles are obviously parked. Now instead of retracing ones steps back to the signed start, stand by your vehicles and face the tiers, now head for the bush through rough scrub with your eyes pealed and you will find[possibly through sighting footprints or the like] an obvious track heading into the bush and then rising very steeply up the tiers,after a short while it becomes a well trodden track that is easily followed. Eventually it joins the original track,[ about half to two thirds of the way up]. The track is then followed along the creek edge,this main creek is eventually crossed and about half a K after crossing this creek if you look out to your left across the open plain you should see the Lees Hut,one that is used quite often. The track now should still be easily followed to Westons Lake, from there you can get to Lake Nameless easily. On retracing your steps if you come down the same way you must keep your eyes open for the junction where the ascending track met the older one.If you miss it you will continue down the old one and you will see why the later one is better.
Now please bear with me especially if you are experienced walking in the above area,but as we have not met I would like to add a couple of cautionary notes to the above. If you are going very soon beware of the probable snow conditions and a map is essential as some of these Tier tracks can be very confusing and poorly marked.I have not been up them for about 5 years so conditions have probably changed and my advice should be tempered with all necessary caution.
Sorry for that sermon, enjoy your trip.
