Joe Gibbs

Joe was a “resident” in the Tauherenikau Valley in the 1960s. He spent a lot of his time at the Tararua Tramping Club hut Tauherenikau hut. Trampers and hunters would often meet Joe at the other huts in the valley, Alloway Dickson and Cone hut. Joe was a well known hunter and bushman and would often have the billy ready for a brew when trampers or hunters arrived. Photo- Joe at the old Smiths Creek hut (by Selwyn Pawson)
