The hut was built by the CSIRO in 1963 as a base camp for researchers investigating methods of controlling rabbits in Australia. It was located in the north-eastern region of Snowy Plain, where the region's rabbit population was high. Further rabbit research programs were conducted in the area from 1966 to 1971, and from 1995.[1]
The CSIRO ceased to operate the hut from 2000 following government cutbacks in rabbit research.[2] Since then it has been available as a shelter for hikers in Kosciuszko National Park.[1]
The CSIRO Hut is a single room with basic kitchen facilities. Construction materials include timber walls and floor, asbestos cement cladding and a corrugated iron roof.[1][3]
