Build of the Cod Cabin

We are incredibly grateful for everyone’s help and support for mum and the family over the years.  It has not been easy, but we are a resilient family who always have each other’s back and know we can get through anything.

Story of Cod cabin

Allan with is great mate Donny (Chappy) came up with the idea to build a cabin and run guided tours for both hunting and fishing.  With just dads trusty Land cruiser to cart the timber, backhoe to dig the footings and winch to snig the trees out of gully oh cannot forget a mate with a swing saw they were set.

Donny drew up the plans and they got to work.  They snigged huge stringy bark tree out of gullies and dragged up the hill to be cut.  They got a mate to help them slab the trees with a swing saw (the teeth pattern still visible in each slab).  They helped pull down old telegraph poles for the post, the roof came from a renovation on his home’s veranda and bought the floorboards from the mill at Bonshaw.

What character it has!  It had a few changes over the years, but the ladies’ favourite is the indoor plumbing, hot showers, and FLUSHING toilet.  No long drop walks.

This cabin has been enjoyed by many over the years and still is.  The pub crawl on horseback also use to stop and have lunch at the cabin.  These walls hold many memories.
