Notes
Built by the NZFS, Max Cole & co. in November, 1960. It was one of 14 6-bunk S70 type Forest Service huts in Tararua Forest Park. A locked NZFS biv was next to the hut for many years. The biv was used as a food / gear locker for cullers, before being removed in the 1980’s. The hut was painted ‘Rescue Orange’ by volunteers in April, 2021.

Great hut to get warm and dry after a hard day in the rain

Sweet spot and decent hut, not so busy like Mitre Flat.
