20.01.2022 Willowglen 4x4 Challenge 2020 Announcement. The TLCC Committee and the Willowglen 4x4 Challenge Committee have been reviewing the Government guidelines required... to run the 2020 Willowglen 4x4 Challenge. Along with this information we have considered the practical implication of the additional controls currently required under the CoVid restrictions. We have also considered the lead time to coordinate all the stakeholders who support of Challenge including our generous sponsors and we recognise the need to provide certainty to our teams, spectators and members in order to prepare for the event. After much consideration of these factors, we have decided not to hold the Willowglen 4x4 Challenge in 2020. This is an obvious disappointment to you and everyone involved with the support and participation of this special event. The good news is that we are focussed on bringing the 19th Willowglen 4x4 Challenge to you on the NSW October Long Weekend in 2021. So mark your diaries! We will be broadcasting this information via the TLCC website, Facebook and various direct communications. Thankyou for your continued support of the Willowglen 4x4 Challenge and the TLCC! The TLCC look's forward to your support in 2021 - it is only 15 months away! #tlcc #willowglen #willowglen4x4challenge

04.01.2022 PLEASE NOTE : The history below has been obtained from various sources. Exact dates and events may not be entirely accurate. If you have any further information... please contact us at [email protected] or send a message on this Facebook page. Wallace's Hut was built in c1889 by the Wallace brothers (Arthur, William, & Stewart) from snow gum slabs and woollybut shingles, this hut is the oldest known surviving on the Bogong High Plains. David and Henrietta Wallace moved to a place near Yackandandah after 1869. Their sons held grazing leases on the High-Plains from 1887-1914 and they built the hut to serve these grazing leases In the late 1920's, the hut was occupied by the SEC, whose job was to erect snow and rain gauges and make them operational. Wallaces Hut was reroofed with corrugated iron around then and later a new chimney was built in c1938 for continued occupation by the SEC. Reputedly stockmen complained about the SEC's continuous occupation of the hut such that a new hut was constructed for the SEC worker at the side of the Cottage track (later burnt c1940-1) The Rover section of the Boy Scouts Association took on the responsibility for the maintenance of this hut way back in the late 1930s as part of their Hut Service Section program, by purchasing the new iron on the roof from the SEC (who removed the iron from the roof when they finished using the hut), for 12 pounds 10 shillings. The scouts consulted Window Greenwood who leased the grazing block surrounding the hut, agreeing that the scouts would maintain it for visitors when Greenwood was not using it. This arrangement was further formalised in the 1970s (National Trust) The National Parks Service noted this in their 1983 report, stating that it was an important refuge and destination for walkers and skiers and under continuing maintenance by the Rover Scouts. In 2002 the North East Freemason Taskforce undertook extensive restoration work on the hut in November under the guidance of DSE and the National Trust. The group of Masons and friends from Wodonga District and Tallangatta spent a weekend doing restoration to the hut. The chimney was rebuilt and stone work restored. Sub drainage and trenches were dug to divert water from the huts foundations. The roof was re-secured and treated. The side wood shed timbers were repaired and replaced as required. The doors were repaired and re- hung. The roof of the toilet was re-shingled. After the fires in 2003 the toilet and surrounds were gone, the hut itself survived, almost like someone was watching over it (Angela Taylor) In 2012 Victorian High Country Huts worked closely with heritage builder Lachie Gales and Parks Victoria on the restoration of Wallace’s Hut, making sure all repair work was done according to historical preservation techniques, with local timber being cut and shaped by hand using traditional tools. The hut had fallen into a deep state of disrepair and needed major structural work. A team of dedicated volunteers turned up, rain, hail, sleet and snow on monthly working bee weekends to complete all the different stages of the restoration Late 2012, 60 people gathered at Wallace’s hut to celebrate the heritage listed huts complete restoration, making the day even more special was the 15 descendants of the Wallace family who were special guests of the day, including Ewan Wallace, the grandson of William Wallace who built the hut back in 1889 with the help of his two brothers. Ewan heartily thanked the efforts of the volunteers for continuing the legacy left by his family who were some of the pioneering cattlemen on the Bogong High Plains WALLACE'S HUT is the oldest known hut on public land, the hut also features on the front of our NEW 2017 HUTS CALENDAR covered in 2 meters of snow on the Bogong High Plains. You will also find Wallace’s hut on the Victorian High Country Huts Associations logo Please enjoy a visit to this historic hut, but do not use it for accommodation - it is only for emergency refuge.
