Great article for newcomers to tramping in New Zealand and the fabulous backcountry huts we have here!

Anyone who would like to see what New Zealand backcountry huts look like (on the inside and outside) feel free to take a look at some of my photos on http://www.skylark.co.nz/gallery2/v/nzw/nel/hut/ for Nelson Lakes National Park or http://www.skylark.co.nz/gallery2/v/nzw/kah/hut/ for Kahurangi National Park.

“Walk with care: Take only photos. Leave only footprints. Travel without a trace. Carry out what you carry in.”
