Named after a young, fair-headed 1950’s deer culler who drowned. 1993 saw the hut relined by Ray Ferris & Jason Hart. Mid May, 2022, saw 6 volunteers, overhaul the hut. They built a freestanding woodshed, replaced the ceiling lining, building paper, barge flashings, ridge capping & roofing iron; removed the open fireplace, & replaced the hearth, fireproof surround, & chimney. Major flooding in Feb., 2023, undid all their hard work. Mid June, 2024, saw 6 folks, led by the BCT’s, Megan Dimozantos, prep the hut for shifting by Kahui Heli. They removed the verandah, fire alcove & its concrete pad, closed the wall-in & braced the hut, ready for lifting. At the new site, half a km downstream, a toilet has been installed & the woodshed built.
