Restoring history

02 Jul, 2009 03:30 PM
The Friends of the Flinders Ranges National Park have been working

hard to restore the restoration of a

19th Century Shepherd's Hut, Guide Hut.

The group held a working bee in June to install a water tank and start plugging the outside walls.

Guide Hut is on the track being taken by the newly-designed adventure cycling trail from Rawnsley Park to Gum Creek.

In preparation for restoring Guide Hut we looked at McAlpine’s Hut on Willow Springs, and at Gum Creek the group looked at the stone walls of Cousins’ Hut, as well as the site of George Glass’ hut at Yeltapina Spring from where he was a shepherd on Oraparinna.

The group are always looking for more members and you can view their hard work and pictures online at www.friendsofflindersranges.org.a u
