History

This hut is linked to the story of cattle droving that was a major
occupation in the 19th century Manjimup district. Cattle were taken from
winter properties and pushed across land to summer feeding grounds on
the coast. Along the way wells and huts to accommodate the drovers
were constructed. The practice of droving cattle between winter and
summer feeding grounds was continued until as late as the 1980s. This
hut is one of a number on the Shire of Manjimup Heritage Inventory and
is still used for overnight accommodation for campers. The hut is on the
DEC Heritage Site Database under the name Coodamurrup Homestead.
Coodamurrup lease was owned by Andrews & Brockman. The Wheatley
family purchased the holding and built the hut for shelter while summer
grazing there cattle. Cecil Moore was a later lease holder.
