When we walked directly down the ridge from the mirrorball pinnacle, we popped out at the river pretty close to where the track comes down (1-200m), so you wouldn't really need to.

If you mean the creek that comes down to the river directly east of the track, then it is reasonably obvious now that I think about it. We didn't have a topo map with us (i.e. like the one in the 2007/2010 guides), hadn't been down that far down the track previously, so it wasn't clear at the time. The campsite is a small (30 m wide) patch of flat floodplain next to the Grose.
