This is supposed to be somewhere near the creek, after a fair part of the walk in, but I've never seen it in some 20 years.
Then again, I only ever knew about Drynan's Hut from the maps.

I posted this 1970 photo of the Catholic Bushwalkers Hut on page 2 of this topic - download/file.php?id=7055&mode=view
I take it that it still exists?

I was actually still 5 minutes from the top, hidden from the view on the west side of east peak, when the sun crested the horizon and the whole sky turned into a thick haze of red light. By the time I'd reached the high point and pulled my camera out it had faded back to what you see in the photos.
