History
The hut was built of stone in 1949 in memoriam to Joyce Brockhoff,
one of first champion skiers.
Eric Johnson brought in the materials, except for the stone
which was quarried nearby. The hut was declared derelict in
1990 but by the efforts of the Alpine Club of Victoria and Hotham
Ski Club and Committee, who put a new roof on in 1996 and 1997.
Real effort was required to protect the hut and runs from fire
in 2003, leaving this hut in good order.
