Notes
Built in 1962 by the NZFS for culling purposes. It sat beside an old Internal Affairs Department (IAD) cullers hut until the IAD hut was removed in 1980. The NZFS hut was repealed & repainted, inside & out, by DOC in 2004. It was extensively renovated in Feb. 2017, by a team led by Rob Brown. Photo of both huts (October, 1979) by Leo Manders (NZFS).
