@Mathias, dont exactly remember the hut, the colour seems familiar if that makes sense, the land looks pretty green though!
So was it on the Muzzle station? Looks to be up one of the side streams ? Tiger country for sure.
This must be up there with one of the oldest huts , built in 1898

Some of the back country huts are only still there because they are maintained by the likes of NZDA and some Alpine Trusts/clubs , thumbs up to anyone who’s ever been involved in maintaining one .
