Visited via Mangamate Stream. Lots of orange triangles now. Also quite a bit of onga onga so try to avoid that! The hut has a rat problem, was covered in rat shit when we arrived, but has good amenities and fairly good nick. Lots of flat space for camping out the front

Visited the hut on 25 July. Walked through the Mangamate Stream Track. Crossed the stream hundred times and overgrown reeds blocked to hide tracks and the signs. Lost the track and the signs on a few times. Not good idea to visit this hut when it after rains.
