Yea I think so from what I remember - pic is fairly recent, about 98/99 I think. Hut wasn't liveable back then, unless you were really desperate

Thats a shame ah. They get to a point where its either much needed maintenance or gone forever - the latter in this case

Hard case as I fenced mangaohane for nearly 30 yrs and never made it right to the hut as always had something well before we got there.
Its nothing to sit on the top bluffs and watch 40 deer out on the horse clearings.
They knew they were safe as a good hike down to the creek and plenty up the top to ping!
We stayed alot in smythe's hut hunting or working and would often run into the Sturgeon brothers up there as well when they needed to restock the larder!
Happy times
