Hi all, planning a day trip in the next couple of weeks with the family to go and see Craig's Hut covered in snow (hopefully) but I hear that the road in gets closed in winter? Anybody know if this is true or if there are other roads in?

Hi Winnie not sure where Craig's Hut is to be honest but I think you can get to it. If its in the National Park then Seasonal Closures are in place. I am sure I have been there in the snow though mate??

Not sure if this pic is of any use to you but FYI

It's a main dirt road but I do remember seeing gates near that scout hall. Give that servo a ring at bottom mate.

Have a look for one of our meet ups on here. We did one years ago with directions to it and the name, etc.

Only found the trip report...... this is an extract from it.


Kris bought along some chilli sauce with a scorpian logo. He warned me how hot it was but I put some on my steak and I nearly died...lol...It honestly felt like I was eating hot coals and I will never be the same again. After a few drinks one night Kris accidently rubbed some of it in his eyes and he ran around like his eye was on fire and we had to flush it out with water....Looked very painful but I had to admit it was damn funny...lol

Yeh I wasn't 100% on if it was you mate as I've never seen your trol from behind lol. But then again I don't see too many decked out GQs in this area.
