Craig's Hut - Best time of year to visit

Thats a bit hard to answer as the weather changes soo quick up there.
your best bet would be summer and hope for a picture perfect clear day with no rain.
just dont go expecting perfect weather for a pic... and maybe you might have a win and get a great photo in the end.

Hi HeyCharger,

Just returned from CH, we had great weather and magnificent views. From now on and particularly the Autumn has the most stable weather in the high country. Having said this though, you still need to be prepared. The 4WD tracks are more of a challenge when wet.

We spent 2 weeks all over the High Country last November and found CH like Pit St. around lunchtime so we returned late about an hour before sunset and got some great shots.

Having said that, Autumn is the most likely period to be dry and stable but expect anything. Things can change quick. I was in Cabramurra once when we got a foot of snow at Xmas.

Just Take your time, drop those pressures and keep your camera handy. A beautiful part of the world.
Cheers

If you like seeing busy movie sets than have been burned down a few times and rebuilt by public tender then Craig's Hut is interesting. Especially as an example of how governments can waste money.

If you are looking for genuine High Country huts then you will be disappointed.
There are lots of other genuine Huts nearby. Bindaree, Lovocks, Bluff's Fry's etc. Not sure if King Hut has been rebuilt.

I am amazed how it cost the government $300,000 to rebuild it when most of the labour and materials were donated. You could build a nice 40 square home for that. It isn't even genuine to the original movie set any more. So it's a fake of a fake High Country Hut.
The real huts are fascinating.

Kryal Castle on the way from SA near Ballarat is about as genuine LOL.

In Vic high country tracks are usually seasonally closed for the winter; approx June to Oct inclusive.
