Top Crossing Hut

Top Crossing Hut is a campground situated on the King River in Australia.

The site sits in a remote stretch of the upper King River valley, accessible via a series of river crossings that demand a capable four-wheel-drive vehicle and experienced driving skills.

Reaching the hut involves navigating multiple crossings, including Evans Creek and the King River itself, where deep water and large boulders can present serious challenges.

Conditions vary significantly with rainfall and season, and the crossings can become extremely difficult or impassable after heavy rain. From around mid-November in most years, conditions typically allow a 4WD or capable soft-roader to get through.

Drivers are strongly advised to assess each crossing carefully before attempting it — walking the line first or observing another vehicle is recommended.

Those uncertain about their vehicle's capability or their own experience are better off parking and continuing on foot.
