Share a part of Australian film history at iconic Craig’s Hut. High atop Mt Stirling, around 51 kilometres from Mansfield, the hut was originally constructed as the set for the 1982 film The Man from Snowy River. Arrive by 4WD or following the 1.2 kilometre walking track from the Day Visitor Area
Drive up Mt Stirling & home 2km to famous Craig’s Hut just 20 mins from First Tracks .
There’s a special way to get to Craig’s Hut without having to go down the mountain. It can be done in a 4WD, there’s only 3-4 KM of trail, then you are on the Mt Stirling Circle loop, the circuit is easily done in a 2WD Car. I wouldn’t try it if you have low profile tyres, it’s a bit rocky in places however, the track is wide, so give it a try, and if you don’t like the look of it, you can just turn around and head down the mountain, past the entrance gate, and drive back up to Mt Stirling from on the Mt Stirling Road, which takes you to the Circuit Road which loops around Mt Stirling. To reach the shortcut, head down the mountain a little way until you come to the Corn Hill Track on the right, which is by the lower toboggan slope. Plan for a whole day, Bindaree Falls is a short detour, and quite spectacular. In the drawers in the kitchen, there is a red folder with the maps, please feel free to borrow it, and return.
