Notes

Built in 1970 by Gilbert Ingester, Margaret Lusty, Jock Nicholls, Harry Gaskell, Ken Wells, George Lyon, Aussie Thomas, & Jean Lyon. It was repainted inside & out, a new stove was installed & general maintenance was completed in Feb. 2016. The former Haystack Biv was relocated to Blue Lake for use as staff/ warden accommodation to monitor ‘visitors’ behaviour, namely swimming in the crystal clear waters of Blue Lake. Edit Hut
