Notes
A standard NZFS S81, 4-bunk design, built sometime around 1964. Derrick Field remembers the hut site being prepared that year. The original hut had an open fire, which would have been highly impractical given the site was open tussock with scattered low alpine scrub. The chimney was removed early on & the walls were lined. Water is from a small creek 20 or so metres from the door. There is some NIWA recording equipment near the hut & choppers fly in from time to time to take readings. Edit Hut
