About

Keppels Hut was established after the 1939 fires on a grazing lease help by John and Jerry Keppel. The hut accidently burnt down in 1983 and was rebuilt with the help of local community groups. The hut was again completely destroyed in Black Saturday fires of 2009 and subsequently rebuilt. Today the site is a popular horse yard and picnic site.

Camping

Horse yards, a toilet, picnic table and fireplaces are provided so take a rest or camp overnight and enjoy the picturesque views of Lake Mountain.
