This is Brown Hut which is a the top of the fossicking area,a 16 bunk hut…be sure to book a hut pass with DOC before you go as this place gets very busy as its the end of the Heafy track, nice spot to hang out.
Thanks Mal. I saw some rocks up river and some some shingles banks with vegetation to have a dig at. Also a creek down toward bottom of the area. Have a poke around and if no good go look at Salisbury falls and have pick around danny walkers claims next school holidays if covid lets us. My son thinks brown hut looks good.
