Many roads and tracks are seasonally closed to vehicle traffic each year for visitor safety, to maintain water quality and prevent erosion during the wetter months.

Thankyou to Parks Victoria.

Installing a new toilet is something many don’t think twice about 🚽

At Federation Hut, it’s a very different story. Located 1,600m high in Alpine National Park at the base of Mount Feathertop, this remote site has no direct road access - so every piece of material, every tool, and every crew member had to be flown in by helicopter 🚁

Crews worked from a temporary basecamp, carefully timing their work around narrow weather windows to install a purpose-built loo designed for these extreme conditions.

This upgrade builds on years of work from rangers and teams on the ground, who’ve trialled everything from carbon additions (like sawdust and rice husks) to irrigation and rotating pod systems to keep the composting process working.
