    Thanks Ern,
    Brings back wonderful memories of a High Country trip about 15 years ago when we went from hut to hut photographing them in black and white ..... ahh, the days before photoshop!
    I'm so happy to see that these parts of Australia's history are being cared for.

    That's great. Thanks for the link

    Is that snow gum they were making the shingles from? Looks fun... not with my spotted gum logs tho i guess.

    Cheers
