Macalister Gorge Hut

A picture may help to identify it.

The gorge is listed on this site under "places."

Having been doing some research, appears the hut is more commonly referred to as Morning Glory Hut or Burgoynes Hut, but still none the wiser where it is exactly (other than on the banks of the Macalister River).

Burgoynes Hut, acc to one source:

Confirmed in hutsvictoria.org.au Roof now repaired.

No ref in that site to a Morning Glory Hut. But a pic here:

No info on location of either.

That looks as though it’s a reconstructed hut without much heritage value. I might be wrong.

In the old days there were both miners and cattlemen’s hut all through the High Country, but not too many of them exist now (perhaps around 100).

Somebody the other day was telling me that over 80 huts had disappeared in the last 6 – 7 years, either through neglect, fire or Government.

PS: I don't recall the Macalister Gorge Hut at all. Are you sure you have the name right?

Cheers

Apparently it had no permit & has been dismantled.
