Built in 1928 by the Mount Balloon Scenic Board. Salisbury Hut had a similar design to Flora Hut with male & female rooms separated by a common area. The right-hand end of the hut fell down some years later & it essentially became a one room hut until it was removed in 1975.
The area can be accessed from a number of different directions; Flora carpark via either the Salisbury Track or over Gordon's Pyramid, the Cobb Valley or Leslie-Karamea Track.
Please make sure the cache is covered with rocks to avoid being seen from the track
Be sure to record your intentions in the visitor book at Flora car park and at huts you pass along the way. The Tableland is an alpine environment. The lowest elevation the track reaches is 800 m at Upper Junction. Make sure you prepare accordingly, even in summer, as freezing alpine conditions can occur at any time of year. Deep snow may lay for weeks through the cold months and spring snow is not uncommon. Do not rely on the weather forecast for the nearest town Motueka, as the alpine weather is likely to be drastically different. Sturdy outdoor footwear is recommended. The Tableland is a karst landscape with many unknown caves and sinkholes. Do not deviate from the track, particularly on the Potholes Track.
