Huntsman Hide-Away
Known as: Apex Hut, Huntsman Hide Away or Huntsmans Hut
Located: South of Deloraine and past Huntsman Lake in the Meander Reserve. Take the road south from Deloraine to Meander then onto Huntsman Lake and into the Reserver along Huntsman Road. Drive to the end of the road to the picnic area. The hut is about 100m downhill to the right, along a dirt road.
History:
Huntsman was built by APEX volunteers around 1974 (but I could do with a confirmation of that date) and is used very regularly by the Scouts and school group, given its easy access and large size. APEX continues to manage and maintain the hut, but MHPS have offered to take it over.
Construction
APEX is a substantial building on a concrete slab, measuring approximately 6m x 15 m. It has many bunks built along the walls plus a large wood burning stove in the centre. There are also two shelters outside, one being a picnic table with room for about 12 people.
