Notes
NZFS head ranger, John von Tunzelman who managed the Takitimu's during the 1960's & 1970's reports, that as funds became available he had the network of 'dog-box' bivs in the Takitimu's modified into 'stand-up' biv's, increasing the floor area, adding bunks, windows & an open fire. This work was completed on Aparima Forks Hut in 1972. In 2004, DOC replaced the piles & bearers, & replaced the fireplace. In 2005, the hut was repainted. Te hut was scheduled to be relocated 50m in 2012. Edit Hut
