Kirwans hut
Victoria Forest Park
Perched up near a ridge top this hut location commands good views to the south and west. This popular hut is near the site of an old miners hut of which some evidence remains. The whole surrounding area is rich in goldmining history. The benched track to Kirwans hut is a legacy from the mining days.

Getting there
|
Turn off at Cronadun and take Boatmans Road to its end at the Capleston carpark. Here there are signs and information panals. Most people go directly to Kirwans hut have a look around and return the same way but a worthwhile round trip may be made incorporating Montgomerie hut. |
