I like the way you used the path to lead one into the hut Joe. Well done. When I got up there the hut was gone.
Joe Mortelliti replied

It’s been rebuilt, not with the same high fire risk roof, just iron this time…you will just have to visit again:~~)...try going up the back way via Monument Track for a genuine 4WD adventure:~~)
