Slip Flat Hut | off the Greenstone Track, Greenstone Conservation Area

No signage to this basic hut, like the similarly reticent Steele Creek hut, but this one ain’t so far from the Greenstone Track. Guess there’s a fear it could be destroyed, or burnt down, by an excess of interest by passers-by.

Slip Flat Hut is one of the cutest huts around, petite. It’s only a three-bunker, open fireplace, shelving with various jars. Those who know of its existence and whereabouts clearly respect and care for this character-filled hut.
