Tailings Creek Hut is base camp for mustering on Run 362B known as the Mt Ida Syndicate. In 1897, C. J. Inder signed a 21 year lease on behalf of a group of local farmers & the first hut, now the kitchen, was built in 1924, followed by 3 others in 1934. All building material was brought in on pack-mules & the huts had dirt floors. The musterers' cut snow grass to lie on & the old timers made hollows for their hips. A 3-day Spring drove saw the sheep pushed up onto the plateau above Tailings Creek Hut, via Buster Hut, with the reverse happening in April. There are numerous river crossings & steep rocky sections along the 4WD track. Edit Hut
