Craig's Hut and Walk
4.8
879 reviewsAbout
Craig's Hut and walk are a piece of Australian film history, offering unrivalled panoramic views of the High Country, four hours drive north-east of Melbourne.
Arguably the state's most iconic High Country hut, Craig's Hut sits on the top of Mount Stirling offering views over Mt Buller and surrounding mountains. The hut was originally built in 1982 as the set for the film The Man from Snowy River. It was destroyed by fire in 2006 but rebuilt two years later. Set on a grassy knoll surrounded by snow gums, this scenic picnic spot offers limitless photo opportunities.
Access the hut and these magnificent views either directly by four wheel drive or via a 1.2 kilometre walking track from Circuit Road Picnic Area, 1 kilometre before the Craig's Hut turn-off. Drive, horse-ride, mountain-bike or hike - no matter how you get to the hut, make sure to pack a picnic and enjoy one of the most photographed locations in the region.
Visitors with two-wheel drive vehicles can still access Craig's Hut via the walking track. Access by vehicle to Craig's Hut walk is subject to a seasonal road closure during the winter period.
Closure dates are Thursday after Kings Birthday (June) to Thursday before Melbourne Cup (October) inclusive.

Well worth the drive up. The last 2km doesn't need a 4WD, just a vehicle with high clearance. Stunning views, loved it. Toilets available too - drop toilets with running water to wash your hands, just not drinkable. No camping allowed but you could make a controlled fire in the pit - conditions apply. Picnic tables are also available. Highly recommend the visit here!

Lovely old hut! Definitely worth the price to see Craig's Hut. Was built for the movie The Man from Snowy River. Has been rebuilt a couple of times due to fires. Now it is used for shelter, for bushwalkers or anyone that needs to get of the weather. There are toilets( bring your own 🧻 ) and a open fire to cook a steak. The road in is ok until the turn off, then gets a bit rough rough. A car wouldn't 🚗 be able to make it over the mounds. It is was beautiful and peaceful!

An Australian Icon that must be visited at least twice in your lifetime, more points if you have done it more often, gravel roads with corrugations, final part of track is recommended only with 4WD vehicle's but we managed to get up without any issue in a chery Tiggo 8 Max in gravel Road mode, very high parts of track that but we did not bottom out, best to stick with 4wds definitely advised. Very nice view, our 2nd time there-last time was just on dusk , very windy and had to back track the long way back circuit track due to a ute that had gone over and tow Trucks were stuck trying to get it back up.
