Notes

Built by the NZFS in the 1960's as a S70 6-bunk design with an open fire. It was hut #464. The open fire was replaced by a wood burner at some point. The hut was removed & replaced in 2006 with a newer hut, see 'Speargrass Hut'. 'Speargrass Hut (old)' is now located at Brayshaw Heritage Park in Blenheim where the open fire has been reinstalled.
