Location

Brooks is located west of Eucumbene Dam, and north of Crooks Racecourse. The Grid Reference is 368114 on the Eucumbene 1:50,000 map. There is a track to the hut, but it does not show on most maps.

Brief History

The hut was built by Bill Brooks in 1945, for grazing. It may be confused with another listed at 367117, by Gatis Gregors in his thesis.

Construction

Brooks is 8m by 4.5m including the verandah. Its roof and walls are constructed of corrugated iron, and the floor is wood. The fireplace is substantial with a concrete hearth, mud mortared walls and iron. There is one window.

Reference

The KHA reference is 2501 and the KNP POM number is L.46. There is a Conservation Study and KHA History notes for this hut.
