Huts In The Victorian Alps
By Klaus Hueneke
Published by Tabletop Press: A.C.T. 2003 1st Edition
With Original Unclipped Dustjacket

" Huts In The Victorian Alps by Klaus Hueneke, published by Tabletop Press, A.C.T., in 2003. First Edition, complete with original unclipped dustjacket. A fascinating and extensively illustrated history of the mountain huts of Victoria's Alpine region, documenting their construction, colourful histories and the remarkable people associated with them. Drawing upon personal interviews, historical records, journals and early photographs, Hueneke presents the stories of 120 of the best-known and most accessible huts scattered throughout the Victorian High Country.

Built by cattlemen, miners, bushwalkers, skiers, surveyors, loggers, hydro-electric workers and other pioneering inhabitants of the mountains, these distinctive structures range from simple slab and log shelters to more elaborate alpine chalets. Many were constructed using locally available materials and traditional building techniques, representing an important surviving legacy of Australia's pioneering heritage. The book explores the personalities, hardships and adventures associated with these remote buildings, as well as their continuing importance as places of refuge for travellers in the often unforgiving alpine environment.

Profusely illustrated with approximately 170 black-and-white photographs, 20 drawings and seven maps, this substantial work serves as both a historical reference and an engaging guide to the Victorian Alps. Of particular significance is its documentation of huts and sites affected by the devastating 2003 bushfires, together with discussion of conservation and restoration efforts undertaken by the Victorian High Country Huts Association. An invaluable reference for collectors of Australian regional history, bushwalking and mountaineering literature, pioneering architecture and the heritage of Victoria's magnificent High Country."
