Tin Hut is an Australian alpine hut. Located on the Ski touring route from Kosciuszko to Kiandra in the Kerries, to the South of Mount Jagungal. Built in the 1920s for the New South Wales Tourist Bureau, Dr Schlink and the Ski Club of Australia, with the specific aim of supporting the first Kiandra to Kosciusko ski crossing. Tin hut is famous for very good snow falls often covering the hut.
