Wallaces Hut - Victorian High Country

“Wallaces Hut – Victorian High Country”

Not far from Falls Creek is Wallace’s Hut – the oldest remaining cattlemen’s hut in the Victorian high country.

Built in 1889 the hut is in fact celebrating 120 years this year.
It had been used by stockmen while moving cattle up to the high plains for grazing and then down again before the Winter snows.

Autumn is a magical time to visit the high country and during our recent visit we managed to get to Wallace’s Hut. Due to recent snow falls we had to carefully pick our way up the walking track through a few patches of snow.

On arrival we found the hut surrounded by beautiful twisting snow gums, colourful bark and sprinklings of snow. Very picturesque.

Depending on conditions (ie outside of Winter or heavy snows), the hut can be reached by road a few kms from Falls Creek and then on foot (less than 1 km) from the Bogong High Plains Rd.
