    Kay Creek Hut is positioned in a truly beautiful location and the hut has a lot of character... although its not very big and you're unlikely to get much sun at this time of the year so I hope you have a good sleeping bag. I'm pretty certain you'll really enjoy yourself in there and I'd be surprised if you don't end up shooting something for the pot. A mate missed out on shooting a really nice Red 10-pointer in there last season and I've not heard of anyone catching up with it since so you might be lucky this year.

    You'll probably find it necessary to get up into the scree slopes of Death Valley or the sunny eastern slopes of Kay Creek, further up from the hut. I doubt very much you'll find much in the bush south of the hut but if you have time you could go for a morning walk downstream and check out a couple of the slips either side of Kay Creek. It's mainly Red in there... at least I've not seen any Fallow anyhow... but some good advice from Gkp above.

    Good luck and make sure you post your story with a few photos once you get back.
