Known as Tin Hut or Tin Hut 2

Tin hut is located in the Kerries, to the South of Mount Jugungal. Its grid reference is 277 856.

Brief History

Tin Hut was built in 1926 by Con Bolton for the NSW Tourist Bureau, Dr Schlink and the Ski Club of Australia, with the specific aim of supporting the first Kiandra to Kosciusko ski crossing. Another hut had existed on the site.

Tin is sometimes almost completely covered with snow in winter.

Construction

It is named for its roof and walls of corrugated iron! It does however have a wooden floor, plus a stone fire hearth. It has a separate toilet. Campsites exist just to the north of the hut which may be important, as this is a popular place in a good ski season.
