Horse Yard Flat Hut
Known as Horse Yard Hut or Horseyard Flat Hut.
Located at Horseyard Flat beside the Moroka River, off Moroka Road near Castle Hill.
From Licola follow Tamboritha Road for about 46 km to Arbuckle Junction, turn right onto Moroka Road and continue to the signed Horseyard Flat camping-area turn-off. Allow approximately 80 km driving overall; published route totals vary. The first approximately 22 km is sealed, followed by gravel mountain roads, generally suitable for 2WD in good dry conditions when open. Park in the established campground and approach the hut on foot; the exact campground-to-hut distance remains unverified. History
The earlier account dates this roughly built fishing hut to the early 1980s and describes it as erected without authorisation. It records that the hut survived the 2007 fires while the horse yards burnt. The builders, permissions history and present condition need confirmation.
Construction
A corrugated-iron shed over a log frame, with a skillion roof, earth floor, windows, sink and bunks.
Caretaker: not identified.
