Located about two kilometres upriver from Guthega resort at GR215711.
History
The original hut (shown in the picture to the left) was built in 1926 by the NSW Government Tourist Bureau to support Herbert Schlink's ski crossing. Renovated and extended in 1956 by John Turner to support local skiing.
This hut has now been changed substantially, to become Illawong Lodge and is run under a lease by the Australian Alpine Club, which was supposed to close in 2004. Illawong is locked, but there is a survival shelter under one end.
