Photo above – the old Allaway-Dickson Memorial Hut (1950s-70s) at the bottom of Block XVI track . Allaway-Dickson hut had been built by the VUWTC in the Tauherenikau valley as a memorial to Stanley Alloway and Roy Dickson who were killed on a club trip to the Hopkins valley in 1947.
The Alloway Dickson was removed in 1972 when Tutuwai hut was completed. The hut was a popular Friday night stopover for weekend tramps into the range.
