Craig's Hut
The mountain herdsman's hut from the film The Man from Snowy River, perched on a ridge at over 1,300 metres with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
Craig's Hut was originally built as a set for the 1981 film The Man from Snowy River. It was later preserved as a symbol of high-country cattle-herding culture and rebuilt after the 2006 bushfires. The hut stands on the Clear Hills ridge, with the rolling Victorian High Country behind it. It is especially photogenic at sunrise and sunset. From the Circuit Road on Mount Stirling, you can drive to a car park and then walk about 1.5 km. Standard cars can usually make it in dry weather, though some sections are gravel. A 4WD can reach nearby. The road is closed in winter, so check Parks Victoria road conditions in advance.
