Notes
Built in 1980. November, 2021, saw the hut extensively overhauled by a 'Jobs for Nature' crew. They relocated the tank & stand, detached the old wood shed from the side of the hut & build an independent one. They retro-fitted stainless steel sub-floor fixings to replace the corroding galvanised wire tie-downs & they re-sealed the floor. They cut back the surrounding vegetation & replaced the guttering. They also rebuilt the stairs & part of the deck & painted two sides of the hut. Re-painted by volunteers in Jan., 2022. Prior to this hut, there was a NZFS biv on the north side of the un-named stream that was burnt down when the hut was completed. Edit Hut
