February Plains Huts

[Malbena]

Hi, I am planning a visit to the February Plains to visit the Basil Steers Huts. I have been to the huts before but not walked from the northern ones to the smurf hut at the southern end. Is there a track the length of the plain? The track from the Arm River appeared to go beyond the smurf hut. I realise this is off track info so a PM would be appreciated.

Generally just follow the path of least resistance.

Fantastic walking in that area, plenty of pads, you'll love it.

Walked into Basil Steers Huts One & Two on Saturday.
Road in is getting overgrown and we needed to prune a few small limbs so the outlander didn’t get pin stripped
A lot of blue tape, so looks like more logging will be carried out.
Walked to Sardine Creek on the Bulldozer track & beyond for view off the east side of Cradle,
Then back to the turn off and up to Basil Steers Hut number Two, surprised at how neat and tidy the Hut was.
Then across the pads to Hut number One, then back down to the car.
It was a good circuit on a warm day
A lot of history up there.
Regards OLM

Was it well attended? The event?
I got an invite but was elsewhere that day.

Certainly is rich in history, as is the whole of the high country across to Great Lake, Ouse etc.
