Mapspast has the nzms1 sheet from 1969 and it clearly shows this track
May be an image of map and text that says '10:39 AA Not Secure mapspast.org.nz 1600 1400 Mt Gor 4873''

Not in the last couple of years but yes I've walked from the Inangahua River through to Alexander River by the saddle to Absolum Creek. A few remains of the hut by the saddle showing on this map are still there.

The swing bridge from big river to deep creek has been taken out by doc track is pretty rough and windfall but still can be done

Can't remember how long it took but I'd suggest allow half a day one way. There is a deer fenced farm on the TL of the river at the Inangahua end these days and unless you can go though it you will need to go around it and then pick up the old benched track behind it. There are windfalls in places but also stretches of good going. We forded the Inangahua near the farm near where the swingbridge used to be however the farm 4x4 access is across a ford quite a bit further downstream.
