#417 Seamans Hut

Seamans Hut, Kosciuszko National Park, 🇦🇺 Australia

About this Stone

A remote alpine shelter nestled in the Snowy Mountains, this stone refuge sits along the popular trail to Mount Kosciuszko. Built from stone in 1929, it honors Laurie Seaman, a skier who tragically died in a snowstorm the year before. The hut was constructed entirely by volunteers and funded by public donations, serving as both a memorial and a lifesaving sanctuary in one of Australia's most rugged environments. It provides vital refuge for hikers and skiers braving the often unpredictable mountain weather, and the strong winds here can be formidable even for well-prepared travelers.
