Like so many of us I live a busy life juggling the commitments of family and full time work. My “wish list” of places to see and photograph grows longer day by day. Craigs Hut is one place that has been on my list for a very long time. It was on our return home from the Great Ocean Walk recently that we decided to take a detour into Mt Stirling and visit this iconic landmark. Made for, and famous, by “The Man from Snowy River” movie the hut and location did not disappoint - it was absolutely stunning. We chose to camp at the hut and enjoy both sunset and sunrise before heading home.
Craigs Hut is an easy location to get to. Located about 1 hour drive from Mansfield, with a 30km of the drive on good dirt roads we parked the car at the Circuit Road Picnic area and walked the final 1.7km into the hut with our camping gear to spend the night. If you own a 4WD you can drive all the way to the hut, although I’m not sure how good the 4WD track is.
It is certainly a must do location.
