NBW Hut location

Does anyone have accurate coordinates for the NBW Hut near Mt Erica/mushroom rocks? Ideally GPS coordinates, but a reliable map reference would also be ok.

I plan to have a wander up there this weekend and want to find this hut, but references to it are scarce.

If anyone knows how low the snow cover is this week around Gwinear or Erica that'd be interesting too.
I plan to carry on up to Talbot etc so I'll probably chuck the snowshoes on the pack anyway.

Just turn right past the last of the rocks and just before you start to climb towards Mt Erica the route is taped. I was there recently, it has been somewhat upgraded...at least the roof is on!

Thanks for the replies.
I saw it was on Google maps, but people are sometimes pretty casual where they drop locations.

@onward, Thanks for the route tip & map ref. That puts it 130m away from the Google Maps location. I'll look for the tape and go for a wander if time permits.

Appreciate your time.
