The solid stone hut known as Kara Hut is located on Mt. Wellington and was built in 1923 by Frank Keats – hence it was previously known as Keats Hut, although Keats himself referred to it as the Stone Hut. Restoration work was carried out in 1952 by the then hut caretakers but fifteen years later the hut was reduced to a stone shell when it was severely burnt in the 1967 bushfires which ravaged the southern areas of Tasmania.  The Hut was rebuilt approximately 12 months later by Ted Cornish, Roy Davies and family members and friends, and today is in good condition.  It has a hardwood floor, an iron roof supported by stone walls and a large chimney which caters for the open fireplace.   Shutters protect the glass windows in the single roomed building which is managed by the Wellington Park Management Trust and is for Day Use and Emergency Shelter only.
