Owes its name to Howard Michell (as Cleve Cole, a contemporary, also lends his name to CC hut). For a reference, see Graeme Wheeler,
The Scroggin Eaters: a history of bushwalking in Victoria, Federation of Victorian walking clubs (Vicwalk) Inc., Melbourne (1991), pp.59, 60, 68. The original hut was built in 1956; Siseman and Brownlie,
