Some lovely photos and words recently shared by .so :

Jagungal Wilderness 🏔️
I often find myself out here, especially around this time of year. There’s something special about wandering through this landscape in autumn. The way the land slowly changes, drifting into stillness, just before softening into it’s winter sleep. There’s a quiet kind of beauty in watching it all let go.

Here’s a small piece inspired by a place I feel I could call my second home.

An Autumn Breeze 🌬️

Like a breeze in the air,
the seasons are changing.
What once was blooming,
now slowly fading.

The healer rises,
relieving the frost.
A warning for all,
of warmth soon lost.

There’s magic in the mountains,
a spell to be cast.
White dust will cover,
not all will last.

This chapter moves slow,
the land will hold its breath.
Until in due course,
life outlasts death.

If you haven't seen this video before, it's a charming insight into how huts were built back in the day

"Axemen Bill Boyd and Mark Garner, whose families have worked in the bush for generations, guide us through the authentic process of selecting Alpine Ash trees, felling them with precision, and shaping timber using broad axes, plum bobs, and age-old techniques...

A bikepacking overnighter to Old Currango Homestead. Arguably the best place in the Long Plain area to sit and watch the evening light hitting the mountains ⛰️ 🌅

Did you know there is a great collection of oral histories on the KHA website under the Heritage menu. Here is a quote from LEO RUSSELL - Interviewed by Klaus Hueneke, 15/2/1982

LR: Yes. That Boobee hut... I was told by the earlier people that Sam Thomas shifted that hut from the Nine Mile in sections, the one that's burnt down and he got bogged at the first creek when you pass the old draughting yard... The track went from the Tabletop then, down across the river, across Mulligans Creek... he bogged her and the tracks were still there where he bogged her when I last was there.

KH: What was his name again?

LR: Sam Thomas - he was the old dog trapper that you would have heard of.

Our caretakers and KHA members often find items left behind in the huts. One of our members recently found a pair of prescription sunglasses in O'Keefes; if these belong to you, shoot us a message!

If you do find items left behind in a hut, or if you have forgotten something yourself, reach out to us via Facebook, instagram, or email and we can try to facilitate a happy reunion.

recently hosted a guided hike and paint trip through the Long Plain area. No better place to soak up the beauty and history of the mountains than Old Currango Homestead, looking out over the plains to the Brindabella Ranges.

Ever a fan favourite, Valentine Hut is a great spot to sit down with a sketchpad and watch the sun go down 🌅

captured this epic view of the range out the window at Keebles Hut 🙌

Keebles was originally built in 1942 as a fishing lodge. That heritage is still on display, with the front door decorated with an actual-size painting of a trout caught by Flo Nankervis in 1954.
