Edwards Hut near Kiandra was built by the Edwards family, who held grazing leases in the northern Kosciuszko region. Located near Gooandra Creek, the hut served as a seasonal shelter for stockmen and miners working the Kiandra goldfields and surrounding plains.
The hut is part of a network of heritage structures that reflect the transition from gold mining to pastoralism in the early 20th century. Though damaged in the 2003 fires, it remains a valuable site for understanding alpine settlement patterns.
Edwards Hut was a modest, single-room structure built with split slab walls, a timber frame, and a corrugated iron roof. It included a stone fireplace, basic bunks, and a small cooking area. The hut’s rustic design reflected bush craftsmanship and resourceful use of local materials.
