Unfortunately a strip of corrugated iron has blown off. Some good soul has retrieved it and hopefully someone can nail it back on the hut because otherwise its days will be numbered very shortly. This hut is very close to the Kinvara track (4WD track).

Near derelict. Bunks but no mattress. No handy water.
