Hi.
As the above suggests my name is Tezza. Welcome to my site….hope you enjoy it.
Cheztezza was started in 2005 and was originally purely a photographic record of huts I had encountered on my bushwalking and cross country trips starting back about 1968, mainly in KNP (Kosciuszko National Park). I wanted to put these photos up as a lot of these old huts have since been victim of neglect, removal or destruction by fire (especially in 2003). Most were built and used by hardy stockmen (in the old days of summer alpine grazing), others by hydrographers, ski clubs and various other people. Finding a hut at the end of a hard day’s walking or skiing is very satisfying.
Since 1986 two mates and I have done an annual week-long bushwalk, mainly in KNP, but some in the Victorian High Country. We call ourselves The FARTS ( Fellowship of Artful Rambling as a Therapeutic Science) (also known as The Fine Art of Restaurant Touring in the Snowies, referring to the quality of the food and wine we used to lug around on our trips).
(Please note: FARTS have always carried tents and all equipment needed to be self reliant and safe in the bush. We enjoy camping out under the stars as much as we sometimes love the “comfort” of the huts).
So I have decided to post some photographic memories of our FARTS trips along with some of our “Bush Poetry”, many composed in the glow of a camp fire or the stillness of a lazy bush afternoon.
Under another tab you will find some of my own favourite photos.
Comprehensive information on huts can be found on the Kosciuszko Huts Association site at
Enjoy.
