Aotearoa’s oldest purpose built hut for tramping. Built in 1924 by the pioneering Tararua Tramping Club, largely due to avid tramper and Ōtaki MP Willie Field’s influence. This Tararua icon is dear to many people, including ourselves, as it often serves at an introduction into tramping the gnarly, muddy tracks of Wellington’s closest ranges. For the occasion of its 100 year anniversary we have created a double batch of Minis as well as a Bigature bringing the hut to life as it was mid century. The Minis capture the hut as it is now in it’s full red paint job.
