Seaman's Hut, Stone shelter in Kosciuszko National Park, Australia.
The stone structure sits at an elevation on Etheridge Range, containing two rooms and a foyer for storing firewood and emergency supplies.
The hut was constructed in 1929 following the deaths of skiers Laurie Seaman and Evan Hayes, who perished in extreme weather conditions.
The building represents the early development of alpine recreation in Australia and exemplifies the commitment to safety in mountainous environments.
Located 6 kilometers from Charlotte Pass along Mount Kosciuszko Summit trail, the hut functions as an emergency shelter after sunset.
The structure maintains a supply of dried food and firewood through contributions from passing hikers rather than official park management.
