Notes
It was the second of 3 huts on this site. 'Alpha Hut No. 1' was built about 1915, extended in 1938, & demolished in 1952. It was replaced by 'Alpha Hut No. 2' in 1953, which burnt down in September, 1982. It in turn was replaced with the present hut in 1983. Incidentally, 'Alpha Biv' (built in 1964 by the NZFS) sat beside the hut for a while. It was locked & used to store gear belonging to the cullers. Edit Hut
