Lake Eucumbene Units

The high country is spotted with interesting huts built by stockmen, pastoralists, prospectors, recreational fishermen, skiers and the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Authority to meet their needs at the time. Prior to the area being designated a reserve in 1944 and proclaimed a National Park in 1967, the high country was open to extensive pastoral and mining activities. After the occupants were driven from their dwellings, the Snowy Hydro-Electric Scheme also built huts and shelters.

Many of the original huts have been lost through fire and decay. The National Parks and Wildlife Service destroyed the village of Kiandra in 1974, which in it's heyday boasted 15 hotels and 30 stores. The remaining huts are now cared for co-operatively by the Kosciusko Huts Association and the Park Services.

Namadgi National Park was first explored in 1820 and opened to pastoralism in th 1830's. Several families where actively engaged in pastoral activities for many generations, even through the declaration of the Australian Capital Territory and change to leasehold land in 1901. During 1979, many farmers that had farmed the land since the 1830's were driven out with the declaration of the Gudgenby Nature Reserve, followed by the Namadgi National Park in 1984 and extensions in 1991.

The huts in the high country not only serve an historical relevance, they also are critical for survival situations for back country travellers and people stranded due to deteriorating weather conditions.
