Up until the 1980s, huge mobs of sheep and cattle were driven to the high country for summer grazing in the Tasmanian Central Plateau.  Several huts could be found along the stock route to accommodate the drovers and cattlemen on overnight stops while the sheep or cattle would be corralled in holding paddocks.  These huts became known as Accommodation Huts and today they have all disappeared except for one.  Located at the Steppes Reserve, the single-roomed hut is built of timber with a solid wooden floor, contains a small window and has a corrugated iron roof.  A striking feature of the hut is its massive stone chimney which services the open fireplace.
