Position on map:
Dux Hut, erected circa 1930 by Augie Dux, is historically significant in representing the early working of the oyster industry at Oyster Bank, Tipplers Passage in Moreton Bay. It is particularly representative of the relationship between government established oyster reserves and the working of oyster banks and dredge sections. The hut is a rare surviving example of its type, remains in situ and is substantially intact, providing evidence of early improvised camp architecture. Its aesthetic qualities are due to its bay side setting and rustic construction that integrate the hut into the landscape. The hut has a special association with Augie Dux and family who were well known early German immigrants who settled in Labrador and forged strong associations with the area.
