I know I shouldn't but I do sleep in the huts. It's what I call farewelling the hut. Cut some wood, broom it out... and leave it better than when you arrived

Oh, I meant guessing what your photo is. I’ll use a hut when the weather is bad for sure. That storm was worthy of a night inside.

Yes, a nice wonder but not on the radar for most looking to stretch the legs.

A lot of huts in that region, of which I've only visited a small number.

Here's another easy NSW hut:

That's it. This was late 2004, I know they had done renovations the next time we visited years later.
There were probably more windows installed then although I can't find my later photos right now.
Back to you crollsurf.

Looks like a side on view from near Porcupine Rocks. Not sure if you can see Lake Jindy from there and is it even a peak

Pretty Point is right. Worth walking the whole range for anyone who is keen. Very nice up there.

All yours Crollsurf.

Thanks, I believe the old Kosi Road ran along there in the early days, so be interesting to check out.
This next one in NSW, I don't even know the name of but there is a well worn track to the outcrop, so it's no secret. If someone knows the name, great, otherwise name the park/forest/reserve I took the photo in.

Yeah it did. Lots of relics and parts of the old road can still be seen. Good stuff.
