Springfield Drovers Hut Colour:Black Honcho Shotenagi at YubariWeathered timber walls and a corrugated iron roof give the Springfield Drovers Hut its characteristic form, the structure long exposed to the seasonal extremes of rural New South Wales. Drovers' huts like this one were built to shelter stockmen on long cattle drives across the region, single room shelters in a landscape that demanded practicality above everything else.
