Notes
Built by the NZFS's, Jock Fisher & co. in 1956/57, with all the materials airdropped by Cessna aircraft with wing racks. Jock flew with the pilot to ensure the loads were dropped on the site he had chosen. The hut is named after NZ's 13th Prime Minister, Sir Robert Stout. In March, 2018, over 3-days Permolat volunteers did some work on the hut. This work included clearing an extensive area of vegetation & a new pile, sky-light, ridge capping, & they also painted the hut in Dulux Porangahau (a close looking Rescue Orange colour), in a return to the huts colour of the 1970's.

Was there in Jan 2008, with nobody in the log book since November 2006. Felt like a time capsule. Possibly my favorite hut ever...
