Warden Hut, Seymour Stream

Warden Hut is right on the farm road into the Clarence River, so it’s surprising this doesn’t get more use. DOC must have been anticipating considerably more traffic to build such a large hat here. Perhaps they thought that if they build it, then the mountain bikers/horse riders/trampers would come.

For those who have just trudged over Blind Saddle however this is a splendid place to spend a comfortable night.
