Brief History This hut was built in 1966 for use by Forestry workers, engaged in the pine planting near Yankee Hat. The pine plantation was not particularly successful and the pines are progressively being removed from the National Park.
The Shed on the right was carefully removed on Saturday 19 January 2002. It was rebuilt near the works depot at Glendale, for use by KHA for storage of building materials.
Construction Corrugated iron over bush poles, with a wooden floor.
