History
The hut was rebuilt in 2002, using the materials from the original shed beside the Foresters Hut. The shed was removed in 2001. The new Glendale shed is the same design and demensions of the original shed, but in a much better position. It will be used largely as storage for valuable building materials, for KHA, including shingles, slabs, iron, stove components etc.
The original frame was built with the welcome assistance of National Parks officers, Dave Dwyer and Jim. It uses original rails, plus powerpoles left over from their clearance from Namadgi. The iron is original, but more modern fastenings have been used throughout. There is no floor, but gravel has been laid, to keep the interior well drained. Eventually a fireplace and water tank will be included.
KHA members involved were led by HMO, Dan Magee and include Greg Sullivan, Maurice Sexton, Andrew Wilson, Deidre Shaw, Olaf and Alex Moon and others.
It was completed in 2002.
