History
This hut was unfortnately burnt down in the 2003 fires.
It had been incredibly popular with visiting students from ANU (whose parties were notorious in the 1970’s), and more recently from off-road motorcycle riders, who parked their trailers here, and then rode off into the surrounding bush.
It was built for construction workers, and some say by the Italian labourers who were kept at Blue Range Hut during the war.
From our perspective, this would be a good candiate for re-construction.
Construction
The hut was large and build to last on a concrete base, that is still present. It was unique in having a fireplace at each end, with (later) picnic tables in the centre.
