Notes
Built in 1964 this was a collaboration between the NZFS, Canterbury Conservancy & NZDA, South Canterbury Branch. The former, led by field officer Lance Boyd, organised for all the material to be provided to the latter. Volunteers from the NZDA, led by Dare Midgley built the hut at Erewhon Station before it was flown-in by Ray Wilson (pilot for Helicopters NZ) where Alastair Midgley put it on site. Edit Hut

Bivvy No2 is definitely better than No1, which has a mid-height platform that prevents full use of the interior space. The window handle of Bivvy No2 is broken, which prevents it from closing tightly.

Is Carney's Bivvy No 1 the older of the two.Looks like late 1950's early 60's type Bivvy.The other Bivvy a newer design. Where they both put on site 1964?
