Lake McRae Historic Hut, Lake McRae

This is an old musterers’ hut which has been locked, and is now used to store the dogs’ tucker.

An interesting variety of cladding on the exterior: flattened kerosene tins, corrugated steel, and some vertical timber slabs. Decorated with the antlers of various trophy deer from the past.
