ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPH.
Wheelers Hut, Jagungal Wilderness Area, Kosciuszko National Park, New South Wales, Australia.
"Camped out in the Jagungal Wilderness Area, I woke up with the area covered in fog. Making my to Wheelers Hut I waited for the sun to rise. As it did, the soft light through the fog ensured a beautiful moody feel to the area. As the fog lifted, it revealed the hut in ever more detail, totally in place amongst the surrounding snow gums. Having seen no one for a couple of days, I felt totally uninterrupted. I was easily able to reflect on the remoteness of the area alongside both the recent stockman history and much longer natural history of this region. It was a truly special way to start the day, experiencing this part of Kosciuszko National Park and the legacy left behind by the creators of this hut." - Scott
Wheelers Hut is considered the quintessential cattleman's hut and a favourite of many. Seeing it for the first time, it feels idyllic, perfectly placed with a classic High Country atmosphere and a stunning view from the verandah. The hut was built around 1900 for "Wingy" Wheeler, a wealthy grazier, and moved a few hundred metres to the present site in the 1920's. He was known as Wingy because despite of his one arm, the tales suggest he could ride, smoke and crack a stock whip all at the same time.
Wheelers Hut is a classic horizontal wood slab hut, with two rooms, two verandahs and a roof of iron. The hearth is a slab of stone and the chimney is of iron. There is a also an iconic old iron bath tub at the front, with drawings of local fish caught. Nearby to the hut are the Toolong Diggings, active from 1893 to 1904 with water races, mullock heaps and mining equipment still remaining.
Our acrylic blocks give the photo a three dimensional look. They are perfect for desks, bookshelves, mantlepieces, bed side tables - any horizontal surface.
The photo is printed on professional grade metallic photographic paper, using archival inks. It is then mounted on the back of an acrylic (plexiglass) block. It is finished with diamond polishing, buffing and final hand polish.
