Hut-bagger!

Okay...I have to come out of the closet. For sometime now I've wondered what were the things that excite me on a walk & I've come to the conclusion that, aside from the gorgeous scenery & remoteness, it's the discovery of...huts!!
I'm a Hut-bagger!!!
Yes, I know, a bit sad, but it really gives me a buzz to see that a place has a bit of intriguing history about it. Who knew we had so many? Who built them, who restored them, what was there purpose, etc?
I stumbled on to Lake Ball Hut recently but there have been so many more...
Lady Lake Hut, Ironstone, Whiteley's, Dixon's Kingdom, Reg Wadley's & that other one in Lee's Paddocks, the emergency shelter huts on the OLT, Haberle's, Junction, Trapper's, etc...
Were they all trapper huts? Are there any in the south? Are there any Tassie Hut designated sites to quench my new burning ambition to rediscover these old gems?
Just curious.....
