Notes
Built in 1962 as a possum trappers hut with the verandah added by the NZFS in 1984. Easter, 2024, saw exNZFS volunteers replace the skylight, add new iron over the veranda, paint the interior, & start painting the exterior until the weather intervened. Edit Hut

Hut was in nice shape, good open fire. Came up the river from the bridge at Ocean Beach - 6.5km/50 min jog (riverbeds are all surely public rights of way??)

Having trouble remembering what hut's you've visited?
