Is unlocked with a couple mattresses but comes with plenty of possum poo and mess. Far preferable to camp outside (best place is nearer to the creek, as the hut possums can be *very* noisy at night). Nice long drop at least!

Lots of possum poo on the mattress and a very strong smell. Nice new toilet though.
