Notes
This hut was built & owned by the Nelson Tramping Club. It was the second ‘Rocks Hut’ & it replaced the original hut which was built in 1936. The second ‘Rocks Hut’ was subsequently replaced in 1983 by a NZFS built hut but the two huts lived beside each other for a while. Edit Hut

Believe the water was from the creek down the hill, not a tank. Had a sloping dirt floor, bunks constructed from manuka poles and chainlink fencing, with lumpy kapok mattresses. Plus the fire filled the hut with smoke. The greatest hut of my youth!
