Known as Dead Horse Gap #2 Hut or Dead Horse Hut
Located at Dead Horse Gap above Thredbo, on the Eastern side of the road, about 50 metres from the current car turning circle. Shown at GR129572. A second hut stood at GR137572.
History
Built for grazing in about 1898, on the bridle track that used to run south of where Cootapatamba Hut now stands.
The hut shown was removed by the NPWS in about 1968, as the Reserve was about to be gazetted as a National Park.
