Notes
Gold miners working in the nearby basin built this hut in about 1900. Earnscleugh Station also used it for their autumn muster. It is in fair condition thanks to work carried out by DOC & by Bruce Mason. Edit Hut

Nice tidy hut and pretty watertight, no fire wood and pretty exposed. Fascinating gold mining area.
