Originally at the site there were several buildings including a shed, toilet, laundry and the main house. However, the shed and laundry have been removed. Geehi Hut is often named Nankervis Hut after the brothers.[2] In 2004, the hut was rebuilt by the Kosciusko Huts Association, with assistance from the [New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service](/source/New_South_Wales_National_Parks_and_Wildlife_Service), [day-labourers](/source/Day_labor), and the caretakers, the Land Rover Club of New South Wales and the Range Rover Club of Sydney. It was officially re-opened on Sunday 3 October 2004, with members of the Nankervis family in attendance.[2] ## Description Geehi Hut is constructed from river rocks, with the floor a mix of concrete and dirt. Around 11 m (36 ft) by 9 m (30 ft), in includes three rooms. Construction of this type is fairly unusual for [Australian Alpine](/source/Australian_Alps) huts, making Geehi hut a popular destination for camping and walking groups. The ablution facilities are in the nearby campground.[2] The Geehi Hut area provides an excellent base to climb the historic and iconic Hannel's Spur Track up to the summit of [Mount Kosciuszko](/source/Mount_Kosciuszko). The trailhead is located about 1.4 km (0.87 mi) SSW of the [Alpine Way](/source/Alpine_Way), at the Geehi Flats Rest area. This challenging route is the overlooked third route to the summit of Australia's highest mountain.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] ## Access and facilities Access is by car (ordinary sedan) or by foot.[2] Near the hut there is a large area for camping with plenty of shade next to [Geehi River](/source/Geehi_River). Toilet and barbecue facilities are at the camp sites and disabled access walking paths are along the river. There are picnic tables. There is fishing access to the river[3] ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-knobit_1-0)** ["Ken Nankervis"](https://www.khuts.org/index.php/heritage-guest/people/ken-nankervis-obituary). *KHA Website*.
