Historic Mount Buffalo Chalet to close 12-Jul-2024 At 6:36:12 PM IdratherbeclimbingM9

An update of sorts …

Local ABC Radio recently interviewed the Mt Buffalo Head Ranger about progress on restoration of the Mt Buffalo Chalet.

He was quite enthusiastic about the imminent finishing of the re-stumping of the main building before works close down over winter due to the weather.
Most of the restumping had been done except for the worst area - the southern section which had slumped. It involves removing all floorboards inspecting and re-using where possible the original timber stumps installed into the ground, by removing, cutting off rotted timber, and replacing them on new concrete footings.

Work commenced in 2015 on the facade and it’s been a continuous battle with the elements to maintain it withouts protection from the weather, with last season’s work often requiring repainting next season. The $3 million Federal grant towards restoration has enabled the floorwork to now be nearly completed and the project is coming together finally and is expected to be finished this year (next Spring), - nine years after commencement!

He noted that the southern aspect of the building was particularly problematic with window frames and timber cladding being vulnerable to the elements and required much of it to be replaced rather than refurbished.
