Huts and the High Country

There's something about huts.
Is it the the stories they tell, their history, the remote spots, the vernacular architecture, the flimsiness, the way they laugh in the face of nature?
What is it?

The high country has more then it's fair share of huts that can be visited and appreciated and used if need be.

We've visited quite a few in the New South Wales alps, we have used them as emergency shelters sometimes.
We have also stayed in the old huts along the Overland Track in Tassie.
We even joined the Kosciusko Huts Association at one stage.

So it was nice to visit some huts in the high country of Victoria and take some snaps!

 Howards Hut, built in 1962 for use by cattlemen.

JB Plain Hut, built in 1971 by scouts and venturers 

using material from two other houses.

 Wallace's Hut, built in 1889 by the three Wallace brothers, 

cattlemen of the high country.

 Cope Hut, built in 1929 as a ski refuge.

Great, eh?
