CAMPBELL BIV
It is tucked in under a knoll on a spur that divides two large unnamed side-creeks and has panoramic views out over Styx Saddle, and of the Newton and Browning Ranges. The Biv is located in the Waitaiki Historical Reserve which is overseen by the Mawhera Corporation.
ampbell Biv is one of the least-visited huts in the area and for a few decades had pretty much vanished from public consciousness. It was marked on the maps of my youth but stayed on the fringes of my awareness even during my regular I did eventually hear of a DOC fly-in check that was done in 1996 (post Cave Creek when they went around putting little plastic labels on all their structures). The workers found a roll of toilet paper that had served as a hutbook and it had six visits recorded from 1974 until then.
