Black Jack Huts
Used to be accessible in summer from a turn-off just down the road from Bradleys Hut. Located on the southern side of the Cabramurra Road, and at the end of its own firetrail which is currently closed due to constant rain.
Brief History
The huts were built in 1973 by the Hume-Snowy Bushfire Council, to support the fire tower watchers. Related sheds and huts have been removed, leaving just two in place.
The main hut is a locked building and in good condition. Being at high altitude, it is subject to the worst weather, but the view is spectacular.
Construction
The main building is 8m by 4m, with weatherboards and an iron roof. It is lined. There is a wooden floor, and some furniture, but no fireplace. There is also an external shed (locked) and toilet.
