Built in the late 1970's & initiated by Noel Johnson. Construction was overseen by Neil Harris, & all the piles, cement & builders mix was carried in from the end of Springs Road, across farmer Pritchard’s land, through the kauri groves & up to the hut site. Once the piles were set, the prefabricated hut was loaded onto a truck & driven to Schuler’s quarry at the base of the Kaimai, where it was flown to site. Edit Hut
