| History |
This
hut was built by Roney (John Meighan) McNamara, George B McNamara,
Charlie F McNamara and Doug White. It
was initially built as residence for Roney Mac, and a similar one was
built about 200 ft for Doug White (the later was later demolished by
Roney and he re-used the material to build a shed.) Roney and his son
Jack, lived in this hut until the 1953. The skull is the remains of
their milking cow, which they purchased from George Faithfull. As there was four McNamara Huts, the names have often
been recorded incorrectly - McNamara's Hut at Buckety
Plain has also been called Roney Mac's Hut, people unaware of this ones existence. In
fact Roney also contributed to its construction as well. |
