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.
Mount Bogong (1986m) is the highest mountain in Victoria and provides a challenge to ascend but is worth every drop of perspiration to get those forever views.
A classic walk along an alpine ridge from Diamantina Hut just bellow Mount Hotham to Victoria's second highest peak Mount Feathertop.
The Northwest Spur leads up from the valley half way between Harrietville and Smoko to the Melbourne University Mountain Club (MUMC) Hut and is not always clear with little signage and then the Tom Kneen Track leads on past a spring and to the main trail to the summit of Mount Feathertop. Time needed variable going down ~3hrs going up ~6hrs.
