Daveys Hut, Mountain hut in Kosciuszko National Park, Australia
Daveys Hut is a mountain hut in Kosciuszko National Park, New South Wales, sitting at around 1,344 meters (4,409 ft) in the Great Dividing Range. The building has a brick foundation and wooden walls, offering basic shelter for hikers moving through this part of the alpine area.
The hut was built in 1909 by grazier Tom Bolton, who moved in with his wife Mary two years later. It is one of the early signs of permanent settlement in the Australian high country.
The structure represents early Australian alpine settlement patterns and stands as a testament to the grazing heritage of New South Wales.
The hut is maintained by the Kosciuszko Huts Association and offers shelter in this exposed alpine terrain. Sturdy footwear and solid preparation for mountain weather are needed before setting out to reach it.
The hut and its surroundings can be explored through the 3D modeling feature in the PeakVisor app. This lets visitors get a sense of the place from a distance before arriving on foot.
