Notes
Built in 1953, it was originally an ex-army, 5-bunk hut. It eventually became a collection of hydro buildings, including ex-single-mens hut used during the Cobb Dam construction. The huts suffered from fire damage in 1975 & DOC removed it in 2002. It was commonly known as Bushline Hut & also Thorn Hut. It was burnt down after the new Sylvester Hut was built in 2002. Edit Hut
