Hut History and Purpose

Past :

Originally there were two huts at this site, one built in the early 1900s and the other
around 1938. It was used by George Lovick who had the lease at Cobbler from the
early 1900s.
George died in 1940 and Sam and Christopher Gorman had Cobbler Lease from 1929
to the late 1940’s. Christopher built the huts for the Gorman family around 1900 and
the later hut was built for the Lovick family. The first hut was built entirely of logs,
the second entirely of palings. There are excellent photographs of each in Klaus
Hueneke’s new book.
The new hut was built by the Wangaratta 4WD Club in 1988. Attempts to catch fish
in the lake met with no success.
