Welcome to Khuts
The Kosciuszko Huts Association (KHA) is an organisation of concerned people who care about the preservation, maintenance and history of the huts in the Kosciuszko (NSW) and Namadgi (ACT) National Parks.
The Association was formed in 1971 and on May 26, 2001 celebrated its 30th anniversary at Sawpit Creek in Kosciuszko National Park. The first meeting was held there in 1970 by a group of concerned people, bushwalkers and skiers. Their greatest fear was the deliberate destruction of the vernacular huts and homesteads that lay within the Park Boundary. These structures were built by our pioneer graziers and gold miners, and suited their basic needs. Many of these buildings were aged and desperately needing conservation.
Becoming a KHA MemberNew Members of the KHA are always welcome, provided you have a similar interest in the maintenance of mountain huts and homes. There are currently around 550 members of the Association.
Dr Forbes Hut Restoration 2010Volunteers are urgently needed to help Garry McDougal (NPWS) restore Dr Forbes hut. The hut is looking very unwell and KHA is to help restore this hut to its former glory. KHA Volunteers are being sought to help out with the restoration work being undertaken in February/March 2010.
