Notes
It was formerly known as Carneys Hut. 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. The hut was relocated in the 1970's as it was thought the Havelock River might have taken it out as it was hitting into the bank where the track is. Destroyed by an avalanche in 2004. Edit Hut
