Upper Oreti Hut
Upper Oreti Hut is in the Western Eyre Mountains on the upper Oreti River. It is reached by walking or driving the rough 4WD track from the Mount Nocholas road just over the Oreti River, (permission from DoC is needed to drive as there is a locked gate next to the DoC car park. It is an historic Musterers hut that is 6 bunks, it is frequented by fishermen and hunters who have done lots of unsanctioned repairs to the hut. We are looking for someone to take on this hut. (This latest Topo map has a spelling mistake for this hut, thry have added an extra ‘T’ to the name upper).
