This trip was a hut bag at an area, Cullensville, once gold mined, good
DOC reference here, have to go back to complete the whole track and check out the gold mine workings at the Waikakaho road end.

The
derelict hut marked on the map, as there is an old fireplace here, it does seem a reason to have derelict marked, however should also have the hut that exists marked as private.
