    Protecting the heritage huts and homesteads of the Snowy Mountains since 1971

Welcome to the
Kosciuszko Huts Association

The Kosciuszko Huts Association (KHA) is a voluntary association formed in 1971 to assist with the conservation, management and reconstruction of huts, homesteads and surrounds within Kosciuszko National Park (KNP) in southern NSW. Our activities expanded into Namadgi National Park (NNP) in the ACT in 1990.

For more than fifty years KHA has carried out maintenance activities on most of the 90 or so remaining huts and homesteads in KNP and NPP. A network of caretakers, both groups and individuals, make annual inspection visits to their allocated hut or huts to document the material state of the hut and to develop work plans. They also undertake small repairs as needed.

The caretaker network is managed by KHA, with KHA providing the liaison between the caretakers and state and territory land management agencies.
