Brief History
This hut was orginally built by Albert Napthali, as a separate room onto his house (Ref 2509). It was a particuarly classic design for the time.
The Harvey family moved it a few miles towards Kidmans and built the new chimney.
The hut was burnt in 1976 by a NPWS ranger on instruction from the Superintendent at Smiggins Holes, although a Harvey family member claims that it would have been burnt by them before that, if they knew that NPWS were going to destroy it.
