Wallace's Hut - Wallace Hut

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 celebrated 120 years in 2009. 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 one visit me managed to get to Wallace's Hut.
Due to some snow falls we had to carefully pick our way up the 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.

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 Road.
