Brief History

Moulds was built by RG Mould in 1930.

Moulds was one of two huts deliberately destroyed by fire, by NPWS officers in 1977, after a mis-interpretation of the policy at the time.

A request to be allowed to re-build the hut, was denied by the NPWS in 1978.

The toilet still stands!

Construction

Moulds was 5m by 4m and built or corrugated iron, with a dirt floor.
