Dux Hut, Heritage-listed hut in South Stradbroke Island, Australia

Dux Hut stands on the northern tip of South Stradbroke Island, built from timber posts and saplings fastened with wire and covered in corrugated iron sheets. The original gable-roofed room sits elevated on wooden stumps, with a later skillion-roofed addition constructed alongside it.

Augie Dux of Labrador took up the licence for Oyster Bank 122 in Tippler's Passage in 1928 and built this hut around 1930 on Oyster Camp Reserve R.638, a five-acre reserve gazetted in 1896. The bank had been worked since at least 1884 by Henry Tippler, after whom Tipplers Island and Tipplers Passage are named. The hut was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 6 April 1998.

Dux Hut stands on Oyster Camp Reserve R.638 at Dux Anchorage, on the South Stradbroke Island shore of Tippler's Passage opposite Oyster Bank 122. The reserve, a five-acre camping ground at Jurim south of Tippler's Landing, was gazetted in 1896 for oyster bank licensees. There is no road to the island; access is by boat or ferry from the mainland, then on foot.
