Namadgi NP - Brandy Flat Hut
Australia

Brandy Flat Hut (a little historical info here) in Namadgi National Park.

The hut is located at Brandy Flat where two fire trails (Brandy Flat FT and Gudgenby Creek FT) meet. The hut kind of serves as roughly a half-way point marker for the Brandy Flat walk which involves walking along almost an entire length of Brandy Flat fire trail, from Glendale Depot car park to the Brandy Flat south car park (and back, if not car-shuffling).


Facing north from Brandy Flat (i.e. away from the hut itself) in the photo, the trail on the left is Brandy Flat FT which heads towards Glendale Depot; on the right is Gudgenby Creek FT which stretches north east towards Caloola Farm. The latter fire trail was very badly damaged in 2011 and has a number of huge holes (one of them covering the entire width of the trail - was a little bit tricky to cross in my bushwalk early last year).  Update: March 2014 - the firetrail has been fixed, all good!

Just to the left of the hut in the photo shows Brandy Flat fire trail continuing south. After this point the trail becomes less flat, and starts going up and down a few times, steep and lengthy in certain sections, until it reaches the main sealed road (Boboyan Rd I believe). The up and down bits of this fire trail should provide good exercise for anyone who is not very fit (myself included, heh).

One more thing to note is a short (roughly 1.5km) walking track from Glendale Depot car park (just in front of the locked gate) to the fire trail. The original track was badly eroded in 2011 (still is in January 2012) near the start. The hole created by the erosion is too big and is now uncrossable. Luckily there is an alternative (if faint) track developing - officially or not I'm not sure - to get around the eroded sections. Once past that point, the track is overgrown and invisible in a few short sections but can otherwise still be traced easily after a certain point. Update: March, 2014 - that part of the track has now been diverted to avoid the eroded area altogether.

More About Australia

There are no kangaroos in Austria. We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in! Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth. The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party. This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality. The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes. Take a whirl around the panoramas to see for yourself! Text by Steve Smith.
