Bag Range Hut
Location - This hut is in the Brindabella National Park on the hill past Dingo Dell Flats, and at Grid Reference 55 H 661 200 E and 61 04 205 SN (AGD-66). It is just outside the ACT.
To find it, take the Doctors Flat Rd, off Mountain Creek Road (from near Uriarra Station), up the hill and through Dingo Dell Flats. Turn right then left at the top and follow Webs Fire Trail, past the Sawmill site. Turn Right onto Bells Camp Road and travel precisely 1.9 Km to the crest of a ridge. Park, and walk uphill 1 km, due west to the summit, where the hut is located. There is a path entering behind the hut, and leaving about 40 m down hill (South) from the crest, but it is not obvious.

It received a welcome update by David Mitchell and friends around 2008.
