About
Goonans Hut was originally constructed in the early 1980's by Russell Hughes who had a claim in the area. The claim was later sold in 1991 to Bill Goonan, from which the hut now carries the Goonan name. In January 2013, the hut was destroyed during a bushfire and rebuilt to its current state in early 2015. The new hut features a waterproof roof, walls and a concrete floor. It features a fireplace, a bench and a toilet is also located on the site. Situated along Donnellys Creek, the creek can be accessed via a short trail to the side of the hut.
Camping
Goonans has a cosy tin hut suitable for camping in which was built after the orignal hut was detroyed in the 2013 Aberfeldy-Donnelly's Creek fire. The hut has an open fire place and is ideal for a smaller groups of 6-8 stopping overnight, please expect to share the hut on busy weekends.
