Hike to
Historic Garden Gully Hut, Paparoa National Park, New Zealand
View Original Description
Take a side trip along the Paparoa Track to see relics of the gold-mining days.
Turn off the Paparoa Track at Garden Gully junction. Historic Garden Gully Hut, a miner’s hut dating from the 1930s, is just a few minutes down the track, but is not recommended for accommodation.
After crossing a suspension bridge, the track forks. To the left is a marked route up the creek to a century-old quartz crushing battery (5 minutes walking). To the right, the track climbs to the mouth of the collapsed Garden Gully Mine (15 minutes walking).
