History
The original hut was built in 1953 and is shown in John Mitchell's excellent photograph. It has since been extended, such that there are bunks for more than 40 people now, across a number of different buildings. There are now three large huts, two sheds and yards.
Construction
Two of the large huts are weatherboard and the other of iron.
Caretakers - "Turkey Tom" Purcell.
