Les Bryce I camped there when I was a Scout in 1963. Mike Brennan was out Scoutmaster.

Naomi Riley I’m pretty sure they still camp there.

Peter Cruse Camped therein the early sixties with the Brunner scout troupe it was whitebait season we took turns with the scoop net caught a heap of bait had a great time l think a mr Smith principle of Stillwater school was scout master.

Margaret McBride well you have enlightened me Peter I never knew Brunner had a scout group.pity my brother Brian didnt join ,it might have toughened him up!!!Best wishes to you.

Roger Howell Had many great weekends here in the early 1960’s with the Greymouth Scout Troop!

Geoffrey Bell I used to regularly whitebait on that side of the river. You had to pass it to get to the river.

Harold Lee Yes building was moved down from waiuta and is still in use today.

Mary Costello Bernadette Fahey......remember the wknd we had here Buzz....PRICELESS MEMORIE

I've great memories of camping there in the seventies, getting our tents flooded out, seat inside building catching fire from a wayward lantern when we all had to sleep inside due to tents flooded. A magical time, long gone.

Alan Perrin
