Veil Biv – Rangitata/Rakaia Headwaters

Built in 1964 this was a collaboration between the NZFS, Canterbury Conservancy & NZDA, South Canterbury Branch. The former, led by field officer Lance Boyd, organised for all the material to be provided to the latter. Volunteers from the NZDA, led by Dare Midgley built the hut at Erewhon Station before it was flown-in by Ray Wilson (pilot for Helicopters NZ) where Alastair Midgley put it on site. Removed in 2013 by DOC. New foundations were laid by volunteers in Mar. 2016, on a high terrace across from the old site & the refurbished hut was reinstated by volunteers in Dec. 2017. Many thanks to Hugh van Noorden, David Keen & members of NZDA South Canterbury branch. The site of the biv before removal was NZTM E1412052 N5193794.
