This clearing is home to a water tank and hut on the 'Brown Muir' farm. The water tank was installed by LPMA in 2011 for walkers undertaking the Great North Walk. This farm and property have been in the owner's family since original land grants. You are welcome to camp here and use the hut as shelter. The hut is a simple structure with an earth floor, some tables, seating and some beds, although best to sleep in your tent. There is an old pit toilet on the side of the clearing. A sign reminds visitors not to light fires, this is a fuel stove only area. Wave and say hello to the owners Jill and Martin if you see them.
