Oldfield's Hut

Another great walk to this wonderful old hut :) The last couple of km's were extremely STEEP, but so worth the effort.

A bit of history....

Oldfields was built in 1925 by Jack Pheney for the Oldfield family.

A typical slab hut measuring 10m by 3m, with vertical boards and a great verandah. The roof is of iron and the floor of stones and wood.

A vegetable garden is still visible at the front, plus stockyards about 500m to the east.

Oldfields is a classic, with perfect positioning and construction style. It is considered a favourite hut by many walkers. It has exceptional value from both a heritage and recreational viewpoint.
What a lovely place - I could live there!
