Craig'S Hut

Craig's Hut sits atop Clear Hill in Victoria's Alpine region, offering sweeping views across the alpine landscape.

Originally constructed in 1981–82 as a film set for the classic Australian movie The Man from Snowy River , the hut served as the on-screen home of Jack Riley's character.

After falling into disrepair, volunteers from the Alpine Four-Wheel Drive Club restored it, reopening it in 1993. Bushfires destroyed the structure again in 2006, but it has since been rebuilt.

A campground is located at the site, with picnic tables scattered among the trees. Given the nature of the access road, tents or rooftop tents are likely the most practical accommodation options.

The surrounding snow gums add to the area's striking character, making the journey well worthwhile for those exploring the Alpine National Park.
