Also known as Willis or Willys.

Location

On the Snowy Plain, not far from Daveys Hut. Grid reference is 391865 (approximately) on the Berridale 1:50,000 map.

Brief History

This tiny hut was built in 1962 on site for the 1920 to 1930 camps of Lindsay and Owen Willis, who used them for grazing. It was probably the last grazing hut built inside the KNP.

More recently, it has seen more use by fishermen and shooters.

Construction

Built of corrugated iron, it is 2.8m square, and lined with tar paper. There is one shutter and door.
