Brief History
This hut was reputedly built by Roy Brayshaw in the early 1950's, but is likely to have been an old SMA transportable hut, moved here from another location.
Construction
It is very small, measuring only 2m by 3m. It has weatherboard walls, a wooden floor, interior lining and a single window. The roof is a skillion iron type. It once included a stove in one corner, but now only the flue remains. The hut overlooks the extensive Nungar Plain, and behind it is a set of yards collapsed on the ground. It was possible to drive here until 2000, but now it is a longish walk. Traces Hut ruins are nearby.
