Search for the Missing Hut. Killarney Lakes, Kaimai Ranges, New Zealand.

My search for a missing hut in the Killarney Lakes area of the Kaimais. The Forgotten Five of the Kaimai Ranges may now be six. This is my search for a hut that I couldnt find on any map or any website. I came across a photo of a hut online and decided to have a look for the actual hut in the Kaimai Ranges.

    Thanks. Yes, I didnt know it was there until I stumbled across it. From some of the comments I have gotten, you and I must be the only ones who dont know about it. Thanks for watching.

    Haha & Drat, you bet me to doing a video on “The Hut”. Me and the boys went looking for and found it (the easy way off the metal road btw) when we did the recent “Kaimai cleanup” overnighter video. The bench was covered in rats poo so I was going to go back and sanitize, has it been cleaned up since?

    I thought you might have done a vid on the hut after your clean-up videos, so I shelved the idea for a while to see if you published one. Fine days and holiday time so I re-visited it. Yes, it is still full of rat droppings. It had been recently used and swept, but there must be a resident rodent population.

    Came across this hut today. Smelt a little like dead rodent. I walked up forest track cut through to another forestry track then up a very steep track to the north south near motupere hut. Walked to Thompsons track followed that down to the road..
