Gudgenby Homestead
One of the most visited historic huts, owing to its location, was one of the oldest huts in the region. It was built in 1845 by a Scottish immigrant, but unfortunately dismantled in 1964. However, the hut's timber was stored in a shipping container, and now it has been restored to its historic state.
