    Very close @bluebaiter222 , but I will give its secret location.
    Its the Muzzle hut in the Muzzle stream.
    If you look on a map it was / is situated at the fork in the stream.
    Back when I took this picture in around 1980 the hut was still like new, the matresses were in good nick and the billies and pots all clean as.
    Mein Fuhrer of the day Les Battersby told us before we went in.
    "oh yeah I have shot Chamy from the door"

    Well we were sitting on a log outside the hut having a break when someone says
    "Dont look now but I think theres three Chamy looking down at us"

    Bugger me!

    The hut was a trick to find as it was tucked back in behind trees on the stream junction. Also I guess being on the Bluff Station at the time made poor access for Joe Blogs and it was probably a 6 hr drive in if you had permission. The cullers would have used it I guess, but they seemed to concentrate more on the seaward range.

    It sure was step country, we used to grow our eyebrows long just to hang on when sidling ( an old saying from back in the day)

    She,s a dead ringer for the Jam Hut.Especially with the non std coloursteel weatherboards as exterior cladding.FS must have used that as default cladding when setting up the Clarence Blk Huts.Could have sworn that photo background is where you throw the tea leaves @ the Jam Hut

    Never made it to the Jam, went up the George and to the saddle but was never a destination I needed at that time in my life. I think by the time I got to the top, it was time enough to go home. There was plenty of hunting on the other side of the river as a rule if you didnt have venison in mind ( there were plenty around, you just werent allowed to shoot them.)
    Just as a side note, I was watching the George stream for a while one day hoping an animal would come out and to my surprise a stoat zipped out onto the rocks, and across to the other side.
    What the fuck are you doing up here I thought to myself, I should have shot the little bugger as it turns out as no deer were seen.

    That’s the thing with these huts aye; it’s not just a place to stay the night it’s the areas,the animals, the dogs, the mates, the drama and the people who are not able to be with us anymore.
