· Small hut, and; · Timber and corrugated iron construction.
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.
