Notes
Built by the NZFS in 1970, it was a unique 2 level hut with individual access on each level. It once had an open fire, which was replaced with a wood burner at some stage. Originally a 6-bunk hut, sometime in the 1980's, Max Polglaze winched the top storey 6-bunker sideways, dug out a massive crater, built the bottom storey & then winched the original hut back over it, all without the NZFS knowing anything about it. The hut was replaced by DOC in 2009, see 'Venus Hut'. Edit Hut
