Waimakariri Falls Hut

Acrylic on Canvas

Size 60.5cm x 50.5cm

Reached via the Waimakariri Valley Track from Klondyke Corner, Waimakariri Falls Hut sits amongst tussock grasslands and rugged peaks near the headwaters of the Waimakariri River. Its distinctive red exterior, set against the vast alpine landscape of Arthur's Pass National Park, has made it one of New Zealand's most recognisable backcountry huts. More than a place of shelter, it has become an enduring symbol of the country's tramping heritage, representing adventure, self-reliance and a deep connection with New Zealand's extraordinary alpine environments.
