Liverpool Hut

Gina O'Grady

Acrylic on Canvas

Size 61cm x 46cm

 

Liverpool Hut is one of New Zealand's most iconic backcountry huts, perched high above the Matukituki Valley in Mount Aspiring National Park. The eight-bunk hut sits at around 1,070 metres and rewards trampers with sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

The hut is reached via a steep climb from the West Matukituki Valley Track near Raspberry Flat, making it a popular overnight destination for experienced trampers and a base for climbers heading deeper into the Southern Alps. Originally built in 1966, Liverpool Hut has become a much-loved part of New Zealand's tramping heritage.

In this painting, Gina captures the striking contrast between the hut's vivid red exterior and the vast alpine landscape that surrounds it. Set against rolling tussock and rugged peaks, Liverpool Hut stands as both a place of refuge and a reminder of the adventure that lies beyond the next ridge.
