Notes
Built in 1960 by the NZFS, the biv has canvas bunks with 2 old foam bed rolls. The door now has the correct spelling on it after the previous sign had it as ‘McKenzie Bivvy’. The biv received some long overdue maintenance by volunteers (led by Richard P. Janssen) in Nov. 2017 & Mar. 2018. They repiled the hut, painted it & put in a new toilet. Photo: R. P. Janssen.

November 2017 when I visited Richard Janssen & Al Kircher from Canterbury Basic Hut Restorations Group were restoring the Biv, new piles, repaint Biv and new Loo.
Glen you will be pleased to Know that they had a new DOC sign with the name spelt correctly, ( Mackenzie )
