Thredbo-Perisher area in Kosciuszko National Park

Affected by closures, check current alerts 

Overview

Historic Seamans Hut is a scenic stop along Mount Kosciuszko Summit trail and Main Range loop walk, in the alpine area of Kosciuszko National Park.

This photogenic alpine hut is located on Etheridge Range, around 6km from Charlotte Pass, along Mount Kosciuszko Summit trail. 

It’s a favourite spot to rest, or enjoy a picnic surrounded by the beauty of the Snowy Mountains, as you climb to Australia’s highest peak.

Built from stone in 1929, the 2-room hut is a memorial to skiers Laurie Seaman and Evan Hayes. It’s open to visitors for day use but is reserved for emergency shelter for hikers after sunset.
