Our good friends at NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service were busy in December working on Delany's Hut (aka Delany’s No. 3), battling unseasonal snow and wind to install the roof and complete other tasks.
A Return to Snowy Plain gathering was held over the weekend of 22-24 November 2024. Attending members visited Davey’s Hut, Botherim Plain Hut, a number of old hut sites, diggings and other sites of historical interest.
