Tired feet

Lunch and rest at Edmonson's Hut, Bogong High Plains, after a hard climb up Mt Nelse.

From 1834, mountain cattlemen and their families grazed cattle on the Victorian High Plains. Edmonson's Hut is built on the site that the Edmonson family used as their campsite when grazing cattle. It is now owned and maintained by the Victorian Education Department and serves as an emergency refuge.

Cattle grazing in the Victorian High Country and Alpine National Park is now banned because of the environmental impacts but the cultural heritage of the mountain cattlemen is still strong.

There is continuing debate over culling of the brumbies in the high country.

Great capture of the feet having a rest.

I always feel lucky that we have no snakes and poisonous spiders while tramping, Now you show me that that is not a concern?

This place looks a bit neglected but after a tiring climb it must be a nice place to relax.

My feet were resting as well! @joansmor @wakelys

It's always a concern. We saw a tiger snake just below the hut but no problem if you're careful. @yaorenliu

It's not lived in and is not meant for glamorous living. Great campfire and open fire cooking spot. Warm enough inside the hut if caught out overnight in really bad weather. @borof
