Hi Tasmaniac
PWS and others don't necessarily encourage visitors to this area - it is a fairly fragile alpine area - camping and walking are tough on it..
I used what I have always thought of as the standard track which leads around to Lake Timk. There is no comparison between this track and the Eliza track - the NE Ridge Track is rough, poorly marked and hard. Its a marked track (starting with a PWS log book), that utilises the remains of an old 4 wheel drive track to cross the plains and then, after about two hours walking, breaks off from the Timk track and heads up the ridge. There is no marker on the road and the track hasn't been maintained for years, although some kind souls seem to be renewing the track markers every now and again. The track across the plains is reasonably obvious most of the time - just a double pad with few markers. It is wet on the button grass, with some nasty patches of tea tree swamp. There is one creek that has to be waded - usually not deep, but it was running very hard last week and I ended up with boots full of water - no fun when I was in deep snow four hours later. About 15 minutes past the creek ( 2 hours from the road) there is a fairly obvious, but unmarked (except for a bit of tape) turn off into the forest. If you miss this, you will eventually end up at lake Timk, but it might take a day or two. Once in the forest and heading up the ridge, route finding becomes tedious and difficult. I did this trip once when there was no track (late 60's) and that really was hard, but even now the track can be very hard to find and the chances of making progress without it are low. I've found that you can be on the track, but not know where to go next and have a lot of trouble finding the next marker. About an hour from the turn off, the track passes through a delightful fern glade on the banks of a stream, but is particularly hard to follow through this area.
The last section onto the Ridge is a steep climb. It usually takes me about 6 hours from the road to the top of the Ridge and which time you still need a bit of time (up to an hour) to walk along the ridge towards Anne to find a suitable campsite. The track comes out on the Ridge very close to Anne - A - Kananda - a very spectacular sink hole. There is a track from there through the scoparia the eventually leads to the Pandani Shelf. There is also a route along the top of the cliffs above the Shelf which leads along to Anne.
In warm, dry weather the last 3 hours of the track can be quite dry, so be prepared to carry water for that section.
Last week I had great difficulty moving around on the Ridge because of deep snow - I ended up camped in the first suitable piece of bush that I could find, probably not much more than 100 metres from where I got out of the forest:
Overall, you need to be pretty confident in route finding and happy to work pretty hard for about 7 hours to use this track. I was dirty , wet and cold and by the time I got into the tent, but there were some rewards along the way:
I've left out the location of the track start - I don't see the need to publish that here. Send me a private message when you need it.

it was quite funny though I passed a couple of guys heading to Lake Judd on my way out, carrying nothing but cameras and maybe a jumper, what was even worse was that in the log book they had planned to go to Mt Lot and LOts Wife in a return daytrip 
as it was they must have got back in the dark as a couple of mates I was meeting said they showed up at Lake Judd late in the day like 3pm or something like that! I would definantly say ambition got the better of those two
