Johnson Hut

Known as Johnson Hut, not to be confused with Johnston (ski) Hut at Mt Nelse.
Located at Mount Useful Spur, in the South Road forest-track network.
From Licola, follow Jamieson–Licola Road north towards Connors Plain, then take South Road towards Mount Useful. Use a current topographic map to locate the S14 Track approach: ExplorOz maps the hut beside S14 Track.
The final roads and tracks are unsealed. Park at a suitable point and walk the last section if the track is unsuitable for your vehicle; the final driving and walking distances require map confirmation.
History
Originally built by deer hunters about 1983, to support their deer hunting activities in the area.
Construction
Tin over a timber frame. It is a multi-room building.
