Historic and Representativeness
· Simple construction; · Timber frame clad with corrugated iron sheets, and; · Timber cattle yard fences no longer evident.
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.
