Notes
Early Nov., 2021, saw the hut overhauled by a 'Jobs for Nature' crew. They replaced the rusting tin cladding with Shadowclad, fitted new windows to the bunk rooms to allow more light in & repaired the deck. Late Nov., 2021, saw the hut painted by 4 Rotary volunteers, alongside DOC ranger, Nick Stinson. Meanwhile, Clint Jarvis finished piling the old woodshed & did some plumbing. Edit Hut

IMO, this hut has the premium location, squatting on a grassy shelf above the languid lagoon. Magic!
