Photograph copyright Olaf Moon © 1998.
Located at the Geehi flats area, south of Dead Horse Gap and
a short 4WD or walk from the main Geehi Hut and camp area. Grid reference
is 053743. Adjacent, is probably one of Australia's best camp sites.
Brief History
The hut was built in 1942 by Snowy Miller, Alex Milovitch, Arthur Keeble
and Dr Hubert Smith for Arthur and Flo Nankervis as a fishing lodge.
It was resumed by the NPWS in 1970, but is a very popular camping area,
one of the very best in the National Park.
The hut received some renovation in 2002 by KHA and the Range Rover
Club of NSW.
Construction
Keebles is a typical river stone hut built on a concrete slab. The
roof and verandah are of corrugated iron. There is a fireplace and windows,
and recently a carpet was added, but has now been removed!
