KOSCIUSZKO HUTS ASSOCIATION
The historic settler huts in Namadgi National Park in the ACT are the last traces of the rural lifestyle of the early non-Indigenous settlers in the region. Unfortunately Demandering Hut and Max & Berts Hut were severely burnt in the catastrophic Orroral Valley fires of 2020 accidentally started by a helicopter trying to land.
The ACT Parks & Conservation Service is resisting the efforts of Kosciuszko Huts Association (KHA) to rebuild the huts at no cost to the government.
Recent articles that have appeared in newspapers related to lost huts in the ACT.
