Notes
Built in 1971. As of December, 2023, the biv has been 'closed' by DOC due to an extensive build-up of interior mould. As of August, 2024, there are plans to replace it in the summer of 2024-25. Watch this space. Edit Hut

Biv was officially closed by DOC on December 7th 2023 due to black mold (they are everywhere). There is one foam mattress and the other one is in pieces. We used the biv for wind protection when cooking but slept in our tent. From Lucretia hut it took us 2h. There is a marked track leading to the bushline (marked with white strips, pink flags and some orange triangles).

Sturdy with an excellent view but mould is a problem, lovely camping spots around the biv however.
