New Zealand Huts from E to F |
|
Fenella Where: Cobb Valley, Kahurangi National Park Description: DOC (20) Access: From Cobb Reservoir 5-6 hrs. Comments: The hut was built as a memorial to Fenella Druce who was one of 4 people killed when the Four Johns Hut in Mt. Cook National Park was blown off its site. Gas stove, indoor water, cooking stuff: pots, pans, ladles and can-opener on wall! One large sleeping platform with a smaller one above and a couple of mattresses in the back room behind the fireplace. Looks up to the saddle to Burgoo Stream - there is a 5-10 minute walk (turn left and downhill on leaving the hut) along a clear track to a swimmable tarn on the saddle. Walk on past the tarn for a good view of Burgoo Stream and the limestone cliffs above. |
Field Where: above Tirotiro Knob, Tararua Forest Park Description: TTC (25) Access: From Otaki Forks 3 hrs. 3-4 hours further up to Kime Hut. Comments: Built in 1924, there are still signs of the original bush carpentry. Handy for Friday-nighters doing the Southern Crossing over the weekend. |
