History

The St Winifred Hut was first established in 1959 after first demolishing the old Havelock Hut (which had been built in1936 by the Erewhon branch below the Forbes). It was carried up to the new site at the Eric Stream by ex army quad and two legged mules, and in the process it was expanded from six bunks to nine on a great site looking up to the headwaters of the Havelock. In 2004 a large work party descended on St Winifred to upgrade it and add a new covered porch to the entrance.
