The Blue Range Hut
I spent Friday and Saturday of last week at the Blue Range campground out past Urriara on Brindabella Road. We hired the rustic corrugated iron hut and loaded up with firewood in preparation for the cold nights forecasted.
The campground has an interesting history having once been a World War 2 Italian internment camp. The residents worked on forestry projects and produced charcoal. Supplies came from Canberra every two weeks and when the supplies failed to come they eat rabbits.
Its a first in best dressed for booking the hut and is a bargain for the price.
