Known as Lone Pine Homestead or Lonesome Hut in Namadgi.
Located at Tantangara Map at 747323 (or the Yaouk 1:25,000), on the circle track around from Boboyan. That is, Lone Pine is located beside the Grassy Creek Fire Trail near Sheep Station Creek in the Namadgi National Park.
History
Lone Pine was built in 1910 by Dan and Della Crawford to support grazing. After Della had passed, and Dan was living on his own, he broke his leg in an accident and was left immobile for some days, but survived.
The chimney and a large pine tree remain but many of the materials were removed in around 1932 by the Chalker family to build a homestead elsewhere.
Construction
Built with a stone base and weatherboard exterior.
