Kosciuszko National Park Post-Bushfire Hut Rebuild | Part 4: Bradleys and O'Briens Hut

Tucked away just south of Cabramurra, along the Tooma Road, Bradley O'Brien's Hut is a timeless reminder of the rich pastoral heritage of the Snowy Mountains. Originally built between 1952 and 1953 by Jack Bailey, a builder from Tumbarumba, this iconic hut has a storied past intertwined with summer grazing and the rugged mountain life. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of NSW National Parks and Wildlife Services, Kosciuszko Huts Association and dedicated volunteers, the hut has now been rebuilt, preserving its historical significance for future generations to enjoy.
