Mt Skene Snow

Is there anyone out there who was familiar with Mt Skene prior to it being a 4WD mecca. Say prior to the hut being built in about 1991. I used to go up there with the old man in the early 70's and you would be lucky to see another person in days. My wife and I used stay in the car at the snow line and then ski to the summit in the 80's and you wouldn't see another person, let alone a vehicle. During the summer we used to camp on the point that now has the hut on it. In about early summer 1991 I was heading up there in a Series 3 Landrover Ute with my wife and 18month old daughter. We were running a bit late and were flagged down by a Euopean couple with a Holden Gemini stuck on a log or something. After pulling them out we got to the summit close to dusk on a warm night with a huge moon and as we were driving along, were swamped by Bogong moth's. I remember putting my hand out the window and bringing in a whole hand full. It's the only time I've seen them in this sort of quantity. When we finally arrived at our normal camp site we came upon the newly built hut and realised that it was possibly the end of an era, as it has turned out to be. I went up there with my son on a long weekend probably in about 97 and there were a dozen 4wd's at the hut.
It became apparent speaking to them that the hut was on a map and it had became a destination.
I remember staying in a hut on a wild night in about 1973 or 4 somewhere near the summit. I haven't located that hut since and presume it was burnt down or something similar. Anyone shed light on this. Cheers Paps.

Would like to reply to Paps re memories of Mt Skene in the early days but cannot select post follow-up icon without getting an error message. Any clues on how to reply. I used to visit a few times each year in late 60's and early 70's, when a 4wd track was the only access to the fire tower.
