Notes
At one point in its life, the hut was moved by helicopter from the mouth of the Irthing to the Mount Bee Road for use during construction of the Mt Bee Road, before moving the hut back to its Irthing site. The access road after the DOC picnic sign area is ideally for 4WD's only. January, 2022, saw a new toilet & woodshed built, a skylight installed in the hut, & a rejigging of the bunks by Permolat Southland volunteers, who also painted the interior & exterior. Edit Hut
