Old huts

Camp Stream hut was getting hammered by the Te Araroa Trail walkers
(never supposed to have 20+ every weekend)

lowering of tourist numbers might mean it lasts a bit longer!

Harris Stream Hut...Lower Dobson around 1971 unfinished.

Here’s a Old one reaped in History , Urquharts Hut , built in 1933 , head of the Wilberforce towards Browning Pass , Still got dirt floor and pole and canvas bunks , bit nippy in the winter this one , check out the Cullers Talley on back of Door

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
I remember shooting 3 deer on the flats just above the hut with me old mate Vern Conchie
