Buil d new picnic table. DoC will supply all materials including ladders and spe cialist tools. We supply labour and light tools.
We will camp on-site , although some bunks will probably be available. We will also supply all o ur own food and cooking gear. You should plan to come for one, two or three days. Your family and friends are also very welcome. We hope to make it a bit of a social occasion. It will not be all work-work and we intend that, with enough workers at any one time, others can do 1/2 day walks to local a ttractions - Mt Arthur Hut, Mt Lodestone, Rock Shelters etc.
