Known has Raglan Hut also as the Southern Haulage Hut or Joyce Creek Hut.
Located in in the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park. Access from the Lyell Highway at the Cardigan River Bridge, with about a 7km walk. It is deep in the forest, an area that has traditionally not known any bushfires, but now some have encroached.
History
This hut was originally built for the logging industry in the early 1930’s by C.A. Bradshaw.
It was later restored inabout 1988 by Murray High School students led by Terry Reid.
Construction
The hut is constructed from King Billy Pine split palings, some of which are over two meteres long, especially those on the roof.
