Craig's Hut

Craig's Hut is one of the most famous High Country huts. Perched atop Mt Stirling, Craig’s Hut offers stunning views of the ranges and is one of the region's most photographed landmarks. First built as a set for The Man From Snowy River film, the hut has now become an iconic symbol of Australia’s settler history. Drive, horse-ride, mountain-bike, fly or hike. But however you get to the hut, make sure to pack a picnic. Why not book a spot on a local tour to Craig's Hut and enjoy a catered feast, complete with High Country wines and mountain tales. If you are willing to stick around until dark, you will also be treated to the starry spectacle of the Milky Way uninterrupted by city lights. Craig's Hut is 19 kilometres from Telephone Box Junction and can be accessed via the Circuit Road. There is a four wheel drive track that leads directly to the hut. Or there is a 1.7 kilometre walking track which begins at the Circuit Rd Picnic Area, one kilometre before the turn-off to the hut. Note that access to Craig's Hut is subject to seasonal road closures, call the Mansfield Visitor Centre for current information.
