About this image

DescriptionGregory Ross
Hunted here in 1970 and again in 1973; it's a long walk in, old Hunters Hut was a slab job (below photo taken during the January 1973 trip), full of mice, but had a good hot fireplace and was infinitely better than being in a tent in heavy Westland rain. Fording Hendes Creek was usually a trial.Map^[1]ContributorAllen Brereton‎

The old hut built by Pete James and Joe McKenzie in the early 50s, they carried all the tools and supplies in erected a tent camp then built the old hut.
And you burnt it down.
Disgusting .

Theresa Gibson
A work of art!

Bruce Dando
Landed on airstrip down river late afternoon,walked up to hut and old boot marks around the creek where you get water, went across little creek and shit a new hut up the bank,1972 about, didn't see it flying in.then burned down the old one.

Theresa Gibson
Bruce Dando what a shame. Those boards were most likely Totora or Red Beech !

Bruce Dando
Theresa Gibson years ago Nzfs then doc burnt a lof of huts when they were replaced, this one was used for firewood and some flown out ,

Kaye'Mike Finch
Theresa Gibson I would think Totora or maybe cedar as I don't think there is any Red Beech in the area.

Peter Moore
