Notes
Built in 1964 this was a collaboration between the NZFS, Canterbury Conservancy & NZDA, South Canterbury Branch, although some reports suggest it was built in 1961. The former, led by field officer Lance Boyd, organised for the material to be provided to the latter. Volunteers from the NZDA, led by Dare Midgley built the hut at Erewhon Station before it was flown-in by Ray Wilson (pilot for Helicopters NZ). In early March, 2020, volunteers from the Governers Bay Volunteer Firefighters, led by builder Matt Annand overhauled the hut. It was re-roofed & the leaking windows replaced & flashed. Edit Hut
