Notes
This was the third of three huts to have stood in Pohangina Saddle. It was affectionately known as the 'Silver Hut' as it was built out of aluminium by the NZFS in 1957. This hut is marked on the Ruahine Lands & Survey map 1965. The open fire was replaced by a wood burner at some stage. Regardless, wood was still hard to find. Edit Hut
