Notes
A NZFS 4-bunk S81 built c1964. The open fire was likely removed in the late 1960's & the toilet was added in 1983. In 2004, DOC replaced some of the framing & one of the piles, some floorboards by the door, the wire mesh on the bunks with wooden slats. Over 5-days in April, 2017, Permolat volunteers led by Paul Reid, completely renovated the hut. The work included a new roof, ridge capping, barge flashings, skylight, structural framing, 5 piles, bearers & installation of a new wood burner. A woodshed was built & the site extensively cleared of vegetation. In March, 2018, over 3-days, Permolat volunteers painted the hut in Rescue Orange. Edit Hut

Big helicopter landing site. We stocked up the woodshed some more.
