Notes
This is the third reincarnation of this hut, erected on site in April, 2012, after being revamped in Renwick. It was originally the 'Quartz Creek Hut' in Mt Richmond FP from 1968 to 1983. It was relocated & became 'Boulder Stream Hut' in the Red Hills of Mt Richmond FP in 1983. Unfortunately, issues around access & minimal use of the hut saw it removed in the summer of 2011/ 2012 to the Molesworth Recreation Reserve, becoming 'Saxton Hut'. Positioning of the hut allows for a full circuit between the Leatham, Severn & Saxton rivers, & Gordon Stream. The stream running west of the hut is known locally as Boundary Stream. Edit Hut
