ABC South East NSW reports the completion of the Sawyer's Hill hut rebuild
Subject to change due to mountain weather, the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service has given a timetable for hut rebuilds(as at June 2022).
After some challenging mountain weather NSW Parks staff and 5 volunteers have nearly completed the Rest House at Sawyers Hill. With heavy snowfalls recently, the builders hope to get back to complete chimney and roof when the weather improves.
After the unusually wet summer, the annual KHA work party to Valentine Hut was delayed until a weekend of ideal weather in mid-March.
