Willow Inn”…! Canterbury, NZ

One of the fascinations of  horse travel in the remote back country is the history that remains… This the original Willows Hut , built in 1922, as an outpost hut to accommodate, farm worker needs is a nice example of KIWI CAN DO>>>>  framing built from the surrounding beech forest poles, then the walls hand hewn out of willow of all things ( Willow is not know for straight timber )  …

At around one hundred years old this timber cladding is still reasonably sound apart from the bottoms which would have sat in snow during winter and subsequently have rotted a little ..!

Looking inside this historic hut there were twelve bunks all made out of sacking,,, imagine twelve fellows all squeezed into this space for weeks on end..!  Home sweet Home..!
