🕰️ History
The hut was originally built by graziers and stockmen and has since been preserved as part of the cultural heritage of the Monaro high country. Nearby Nunnock Swamp was a long-standing food and resource site for Aboriginal peoples, including the Ngarigo and Yuin nations, whose connection to this land spans millennia.
