LINCOLN HUT

Eyre Mountains/Taka Rā Haka Conservation Park, Southland – March 2021

Lincoln Hut is located in the Ōreti Valley in Southland’s Eyre Mountains, about an hour’s walk from Upper Ōreti Hut. Between 20 and 23 March, a volunteer group of three Permolat Southland members restored the 2-bunk hut, funded by the BCT, taking advantage of the transport for the Ashton Hut project, which six other Permolat Southland members were undertaking at the same time.

​The Lincoln Hut team included: George Wilkinson, Hayden Cohen and Greg Wilson. ​George and Hayden began by inserting a bearer on the eastern side of the floor, replacing on old rotten one.

​They extended the chimney, placed a vent to help the fire draw better, and also installed a steel insert to protect the crumbling fireplace concrete from further decay.

​The team then demolished the decrepit woodshed and built a new one, replaced the old nails in the cladding with tech screws, patched axe cuts in the cladding, and made sure it was all secured firmly.

​Inside, the team cleaned and painted the walls and ceiling, as well as the window surround.

​Thanks go to Placemakers, Southland sheet metal, Marshall roofing and High Country Helicopters. DOC's Thomas Wright provided support, and thanks also to the BCT for the funding. Nice job.
