Notes
It sat beside Maitland Creek about half way between Red Hills & Porters Huts, & the piles remain standing. It was removed, relocated & enlarged in March, 1997, to become the new 'Hunters Hut' (see separate entry on this site) as a memorial to Russell Griebel & Bob Waldie, two DOC goat cullers who were killed when 'Bushline Hut' (see separate entry on this site) was washed away on 23 February, 1995, in a flash flood. Maitland Hut was NZFS hut # 569. Edit Hut
