Notes
Built by the NZFS in 1961, a small roof-fed tank was installed by Mark Crompton at some stage. In 2004, DOC repiled, painted, re-sealed & replaced some framing. In 2016, more maintenance saw the roof & end walls removed, reframed, repapered, re-clad & re-sealed. Some of the floor & bunks were replaced, as was the ridging, window, & door & window flashings. Door stoppers & a door threshold were added & the vegetation around the biv was cut back. It was painted by Permolat volunteers in February, 2020. Edit Hut
