High Country Huts Tour

Join Rory as he visits huts around Mt Stirling in the High country


Club 4x4 Trip Notice
Trip Location
Location:Mt Stirling
Location and/or Description of Trip (Itinerary):

Join me for a tour of the huts around Mt Stirling, including:

-Tomahawk Hut
-Refuge Mt No.3 Hut
-Bus Hut
-King Saddle Hut
-Howqua Gap Hut
-Bluff Spur Hut
-GGS Hut
-Craig's Hut
-King Hut
-Bindaree Hut
-Ritchie's Hut
-Bluff Hut
-Lovick's Hut
-Fry's Hut

The number of huts visited, route taken and camping locations will be largely dependent on the track and weather conditions.

We will be camping in the bush at different spots each night, likely with no facilities.

Walking (dare I say it!) is required to see some of the huts, in particular Ritchie's Hut, which is a 12km (3hr 30min) return trip (but well worth it). I intend to do this on the last morning, and those who do not want to come can stay at camp and prepare lunch!

Bring your camera!

Start Location:Greensborough
Finish Location:Mansfield

Carpark on Henry St, corner of Grimshaw St, opposite Woolworths. Alternative en route locations can be arranged.
