Discover the rich history of the Snowy Mountains’ high country huts.

Huts of the High Country is a captivating exploration of over 100 huts and homesteads scattered throughout the Snowy Mountains of NSW. Combining evocative words with dramatic photography, this book weaves oral history, bush verse, and historical facts into an engaging narrative that brings these remote shelters to life.
