Historic Hooker Hut reopens

Date Time
Historic Hooker Hut reopens
The hut, which first opened in 1910 and is the oldest in the National Park, was removed from its previous site above the crumbling moraine wall of the receding Tasman Glacier by helicopter in 2015.
It was stored in Twizel until its restoration by contractor Recreation Construction and flown back into a much more accessible location about two hours walk into the Hooker Valley.
DOC Aoraki Operations Manager Sally Jones says it’s fantastic to have the hut back in the national park where it can be well-used by visitors.
“The refurbished hut will open up the opportunity for a wide range of people to experience a night in the pristine alpine environment of Aoraki.”

'It has been an incredibly healing journey': The solo mum who camped her way around New Zealand with a toddler in tow

Brook Sabin
The Southern Scenic Route from Queenstown to Dunedin is one of the most breathtaking road trips on the planet.
Contracting the travel bug while living and working in Canada four years ago, Shoshannah Shand and her best friend decided to travel the world together when they’d saved up enough money.
Even before the pandemic confined Kiwis to New Zealand, Shoshannah’s main goal was to travel the length of her homeland, having grown up in a fairly remote part of it – a sheep, beef and mussel farm in the outer Pelorus Sounds.

Shoshannah says little Timmy seems to have caught her travel bug.
