The historic settler huts in Namadgi National Park in the ACT are the last traces of the rural lifestyle of the early non-Indigenous settlers in the region. Unfortunately Demandering Hut and Max & Berts Hut were severely burnt in the catastrophic Orroral Valley fires of 2020 accidentally started by a helicopter trying to land.
The ACT Parks & Conservation Service is resisting the efforts of Kosciuszko Huts Association (KHA) to rebuild the huts at no cost to the government.
