About Sandy Lake Hut, the bottle’s namesake
Over a century ago, the Northern Tasmanian Fisheries and Tourist Associations built three huts in the Chudleigh Lakes area to promote fishing and tourism. Over time, extreme weather, wildfires, and vandalism destroyed these huts, leaving them in ruins for over half a century. By 2004, the Mountain Huts Preservation Society had rebuilt two of the huts – Ironstone Hut and Lady Lake Hut – and aimed to reconstruct the third, Sandy Lake Hut, to complete the trilogy.
The original Sandy Lake Hut, dating from 1903, was submerged under Lake Mackenzie after the Hydro Electric Commission's 1969 Mersey Forth power scheme. In 2012, the MHPS identified a new site for the hut on the northeastern shore of Lake Mackenzie. In January 2013, the original hut's foundations were exposed, allowing accurate measurements. The rebuilding process took over two years, involving plan drafting, applications to various authorities, and acquiring materials.
