Hi all,

I have just received an email showing that King Hut on the King River in the high country has burnt down. I don't have any details yet.

Crackles? You heard anything?

That was lost last winter. They suspect deer hunters left a fire going.

Bit of a shame this has happened.

Back in the late seventies and early 80’s, we did a lot of rock climbing in the Cathedral Valley.

There use to be an old hut up there where we had a merry time after finishing a day on the cliffs.

I was up that way not so long ago and found the hut gone, campers corralled into mud patches, weeds and over growth everywhere along the creek.

I sat there amazed at the mess National Parks have made of the area. Unless I’m told otherwise, I’d suspect these fellas demolished the hut in perusing their vision of how life should be.

If in fact deer hunters were responsible for the loss of the King hut, I want to hear more about it, so I can take it up with the SSAA. We don’t want ratbags buggaring up the hard work of committed people.

Regards

Kim

No one directly saw who left the fire unnatended just there were reports of doggers camped there. The fact that the entire area is seasonaly closed seemed to have slipped their minds.

Doggers or deerhunters? The difference between the two in shooting circles is probably akin to quad bikes/4WD's and you know how much 4wd'ers hate to be blamed for others indiscretions!

Guess I missed that branch on the grapevine. Wonder why the photo I got's doing the rounds again?

but then l read somewhere that it was campers who left the fire..someone did it anyway..heard the rumors 'bout the doggers but l'd doubt the SSAA would know..probably better asking the ADA or the Doggers Assoc if they knew anything..which l'd doubt
