DescriptionSefton Bivvy was constructed in May 1917 following Peter Graham's idea for a small shelter on the ridge above the Te Waewae Glacier (Stocking Stream). The original shelter was big enough to accommodate 4 people (at a pinch). It was badly damaged by heavy snows in the winter of 1918 but repaired and put back into use by 1920. It is now the oldest hut in Aoraki Mount Cook National Park Last edited by: Murray Reedy
