History

The history of these two huts is un-recorded in any of the modern literature, although they receive a small mention in Hueneke's book, following their destruction by fire in 2003.

The main hut at Buckwong Creek was a log cabin of considerable age, probably from the early 1900’s, and was well fitted out, with furniture and utensils, obviously being used regularly for cattle mustering or brumby running.

These two huts were burnt down in the 2003 fires and a new hut has been built by the horse riders - see the pic below - but its locked!

Caretakers - Unknown.
