Cool to see that country again . Spent many weeks at Wilkinson on veg survey about 1981/1982 .The chimney had internal wooden framing .One student got a bit enthusiastic with the fire and set fire to the framing .I have a photo of yours truly pouring water down the chimney to put the indiscretion out . Also one was obliged to exterpate a possum ,who was sitting on our tentfly pole and intent on raiding the fresh veges .Unfortunately the .270 Sent bone fragments through the canvas . Of course Conservancy office understood that it was rampant keas that had attacked government property .
Worked in Whitcombe NZFS 76-81. Track was in excellent condition at that stage. Built bridge at Vincent Creek and worked from old Frews Hut. Wilkinson Glacier much bigger then.
Best content out there! Loving the sounds and vision, keep doing it!

I’ll hopefully visit the NZFS Frew hut in the near future.
Historic Price Flat hut looks mean I love that old slab look on the few remaining huts that there are.
West Coast rains a normal amount of time, just that when it does rain it's A LOT of rain!!
Love your office. BTW was in behind Reefton about 15yrs back. 14 day trip. It rained hard for 13 of those days. Westland deserves its reptation.
How good, any plans to mission to Price Basin hut?
Will get round to it eventually.
Permolat and Homebrew, mean.
