This bivvy is now at the WestReef track workers camp about a chain NE from the Paparoa Tops Emergency Shelter. (Just before where the Paparoa Track starts descending to the Punakaiki & Pororari headwaters 1.1km WSW of Mt Hawera)

This is almost certainly the same DOC bivvy which has just been moved around while work is done on the new Paparoa Track Great Walk. It was not present at the Pororari Hut site on 22/02/18 (as seen in your second photo), but was at the Moonlight Tops Hut site on 24/02/18. It was no longer there on 22/12/18.

Suspect it is temporarily at that site. My photo from a previous site?
