Bullocks Hut
All photographs by Olaf Moon 2005, after the restoration, except the introduction picture, taken in 1991.
Location
Take the road south from Jindabyne and turn left towards Thredbo. Watch out for the Ski Tube triangular sign about half way to the resort. Bullock's hut is located just behind the huge carpark for the Ski Tube underground train. The hut is easy to reach with a short walk from the Ski Tube carpark. The Grid Reference is 292664 on the Mount Kosciuszko 1:50,000 map.
Brief History
The main house was built in 1934 by Charles Conway for Dr Bullock, as a fishing lodge. Further buildings were added between 1939 and 1947, and still exist.
The Bullock family used the house between 1940 and 1950, but it was resumed by the NPWS in 1969.
At the time the Ski Tube was built, the very substantial house was fully renovated (in the early 1990's).
Construction
The walls are made of cement blocks, with cement and tile floors. The chimney is cement. The original roof was shingles and some has been replaced with iron. Nearby, there is also a toilet and shed.
