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. Bushfires ravaged it in 2006 but it was rebuilt and reopened to public visits two years later. Arrive by 4WD or following the 1.2 kilometre walking track from the Day Visitor Area to be wowed by panoramic, celluloid-worthy views.
