You don't realise how many huts are on the mountain until you see something like this video. I have been to a few of them but there's far more than I realised.
Good little compilation. Been to a few of those. Have never found sama. I know roughly it's near the scout hut. Went to the scout hut in snow and blizzard conditions. Near got lost just coming back out lol
coordinates of kara hut? I have been there before but im looking to go there with mates but i dont wanna have to look for the track of the lenah valley track
I guess you could call these forms of vernacular architecture? The stones seem locally-sourced, and help blend them in with the environment, especially around boulder & scree fields. (This is called the "constructed environment", as distinct from the 'cleared' one so common in Australia) I remember that there used to be 'jungle'-style wooden huts around Fern Tree, as well as more formal buildings and the bower there, which burnt down in those fires along with Cascades. Kunanyi, which was probably known as a place where spirits went to the Muwinina People of the south-east nation (I forgot its name), used to be covered with celery-top pines apparently --- there is a tiny path of this near Collinsville. The first European climbers described the forest as 'tropical', probably because of the ferns and warm humidity (as it would have felt to them, from sailing across frigid cold). Charles Darwin, who was apparently not impressed by what he saw of scrub on mainland Australia, but when he climbed this mountain, he called its forests 'noble' and worthy I think, because he was impressed by the massive trees and the views. He was also apparently impressed by the social life of Hobart, more so than Sydney (as a preference) -- at that point, I think Hobart was the 2nd largest (and thus 2nd-most important imperial port of the hemisphere) city in Australia, and was at its peak, with infinite opportunity (later re-evaluated by a major slump while Melbourne became the richest city on Earth). The floral transition is apparently very exemplary on kunanyi, and it is probably more similar to Ben Lomond, rather than some of the other mountains of similar height. By any measure, this is a very special mountain, and I think Hobart/nipaluna will eventually settle into its embracing arms properly (hopefully), as the 'emporium', a truly Tasmanian city, with new-found opportunity, human perseverance, and wonders.
I love the stone huts, they all have their own character... I've seen photos of the old Fern Tree Bower, it certainly looked interesting, it's surprising someone hasn't tried to rebuild it as a tourist attraction, lol ... I'm sure there was another shelter around there somewhere but I'm not sure where, I just vaguely remember visiting it as a kid in the 70's ... When I was there the other day it was just before sunset so I didn't really have time to poke around, I need to return and spend some more time looking around, and I also want to poke around the lower section of the pipeline track down towards the Waterworks, there's some interesting features down there I believe..

Thanks.. Sama is a little hard to find, that was one I hadn't been to before, I had to zigzag around a bit to find it...

Sorry, I'm away from home and I don't have the tracks and points for the Wellington huts with me at the moment..
