History

Original leaseholder was Alec Moir, known as Moir Station for the
purpose of summer coastal cattle grazing. Muirs had the pastoral lease
when the hut was built.
This drovers hut is one of a series of huts used by stockmen when cattle
were driven to the coast each year for summer grazing by the early
pioneer farmers. Farmers like the Gibletts from Manjimup and the
Brockmans from Pemberton had significant herds of cattle, which were
herded to the coast each year. Wheatley Coast Road and Deeside Coast
Road were the original stock routes used. There are a few other known
huts, one of them being Bolganup Slab Hut and cattle yards. These huts
are in the D’Entrecasteaux National Park, which is managed by the Dept
of Environment and Conservation (DEC). The ranger’s cottage is where
the cattle yards used to be.
