Notes
Built in 1970-71 by Warren Keely, Tony Newton (Field Officer) & Mario Gerimia from the NZFS. This was originally a 3-bunk biv, using the model number B143, which was a variant of the usual B142 (2-bunk) model. It replaced a tent camp on the other side of the creek that had been established some time in the 1960's. December, 2022, saw 4 folks under the 'Jobs for Nature' banner, replace the roof, flashings, & windows, paint the biv, & drains dug to help prevent soil & vegrtation build up at the back of the biv.

Nice Bivvy but the track from Taipo bridge and to Griffins hut is rough
