Tasman Glacier Hut

Does anyone know where the bothy comes from? It seems to be a tad elevated, or levitated, or maybe just enjoying a mountain high...
I would like to bring it back down to Earth

We Will ask Spooky Sir Ed , maybe he's a floating around in there

This is due to placing models on very steep terrain- Since the model is placed at the reference point (i.e the center), if it's located on a steep slope, the terrain drops away a bit too much.

She's a pretty precarious position!

A very desirable residence, with a wonderful view (in one direction), for all those wishing to; "Get away from it all".

Vintage plumbing.
Very infrequent 'Bus service.

It's just hanging there by one corner...made for an unusual Sunday drive though

Timmo - I hadn't realised your post had a pic of the bothy. Many thanks for that. At the moment I am only getting 64kb/s downloads, since I went over my bandwidth allowance for May. Oddlynuff, I can't see my own pic right now either.
Things will be back to normal tomorrow.
Any chance of that rocky outcrop being added to the model of the shelter hut ?

It's certainly possible- A better option might be to create a more NZ looking hut model and place it on stilts but with the reference point still at the base of the hut- This will mean on flat terrain it will simply sit normally, but in cases like this, the downhill portion will rest on the stilts.
