Vallejo Gantner Hut, Heritage hut in Howitt Plains, Australia
The triangular-shaped structure features sandstone walls, copper sheeting roof, and diamond-shaped windows overlooking the Crosscut Saw mountain range.
The hut was constructed between 1970 and 1971 as a memorial to Vallejo Gantner, the nineteen-year-old grandson of Myer department store founder.
The site represents a significant example of memorial huts in Victorian Alps, designed by architect David McGlashan to integrate with the natural landscape.
The facility includes modern amenities with a sealed tank system toilet installed in 2013, making it suitable for extended stays.
The hut maintains visitor logbooks since 1971, collecting written experiences from bushwalkers and cross-country skiers throughout the seasons.
