Known as O'Briens Hut or Bradleys Hut. We prefer the former.
Bradley's hut is located conveniently at the roadside of the Cabramurra to Khancoban Road, and marked on the Kosciusko 1:100,000 map at grid reference 242 132.
Brief History
The hut was built by Jack Bailey in 1952 before the Tooma road was developed. It was originally used for grazing, but the stables and horse yards were removed by the NPWS.
The area around the hut is commonly used by campers planning to head off to the Jugungal wilderness.
Construction
This hut has an agreeable outlook, and appears as a small homestead. Built of timber frames and corrugated iron walls and roof, it measures 6.5m by 4m, plus a verandah area at the front.
The floor is made of sawn timber and a solid fireplace is set on a concrete slab.
Value
Bradley's huts sits in an area of montane forest and outstanding beauty. The hut is used on most weekends, and is at an altitude where cross-skiing is common.
