Kitchen Hut, nestled below Cradle Mountain's steep ascent, serves as a vital shelter for hikers on the Overland Track. Constructed in 1939 with a two-story design, it features a stone base and wooden shingles, providing refuge from the region's unpredictable weather. While primarily an emergency shelter, it offers a respite for walkers heading south. A nearby composting toilet ensures basic facilities. The hut's unique architecture, including its upper access point for deep snow conditions, reflects its historical significance in Tasmania's hiking heritage.
