Unknown Stream Hut, Craigieburn Forest Park

Set in a large clearing some distance up the slope from the actual stream, it offers great views of the steep and spectacular hills from an open door. Just not from the inside as the single small window points up the valley to the south.

Mostly used by hunters and occasional long-distance mountain trekkers, or a few trampers who engage with the Moa Saddle circuit.
