Four Mountain Cattlemen Huts In The Victorian High Country.

- Each of the four huts that i visited, are loaded with history from the days of mountain cattlemen.
The Victorian High Country huts were built by the families of the mountain cattlemen, dating well back into the mid to late 1900's.
They built the huts to use as shelter when they would spend weeks on end mustering cattle on the higher mountain peaks during the summer months with their cattle.
Today, the mountain cattlemen don't use the huts that they once built for mustering purposes, because the cattle aren't allowed to graze the large parts of the Victorian High Country.
So, they still stand for campers to visit when they are passing through the region in the 4WD.
I't very important to look after these very historical cattle huts, so they remain for everyone to enjoy them and take a moment to think about the days of the mountain cattlemen.
Victorian High Country huts are scattered through out the region.
We visit the iconic Craigs Hut and three other mountain cattlemen huts.
Craig's Hut wasn't used or built by the mountain cattlemen, it was built as a film prop for the iconic Australia movie series, The Man From Snowy River.
Each and every one of them is is filled with character and history from days gone by.
The four Victorian High Country huts I have selected out from Mansfield, are quite easy to get to in your 4wd.
What are some of the huts of the Victorian High Country have you been into?

Great hut tours, I have been to all of them a very long time ago. I actually rescued a bush walker at razorback hut who we thought had appendicitis, we drove them to Mansfield hospital. It turned out that they were badly dehydrated. That was back in about 1990 so I think I’m ready for another visit. Great video 🍻🔥⛺️🛖
Gday Darren,
Thanks mate.
Top stuff helping out that bush Walker in a time of need.
Hope you can get back up that one some day soon.
Great area mate.
Cheers Tim
How about a shout out to all the 4WD clubs, volunteers and The High Country Hut Association for the upkeep and repair of the huts

Thanks mate.
G'day James,
That was a great trip visiting a few huts.
Well worth it mate when you can to check it out.

Thanks for your reply and feedback.

awesome Video, i just got home from a week trip out there, such an amazing place to visit ill be sure to come back, would be awesome to see you cover the cobberas/ macfarlane flat track to the snowy mountains, :)
Thanks mate for your feed back.
Sounds like you had a great trip while you were down.
My next area to cover is the Snowy River Country. Heading down that way in a couple of weeks time.
Gday Batesy,love this stuff,its in my backyard so to speak and still havent had a chance to get up there yet unfortunately,but you do a top job of covering all the details..
Any chance oneday you could do some content on how the huts were constructed back in the day using the methods the old boys used.. would love to build one on my next property as accomadation/bar and pool room.. cheers mate👍
Gday mate,
Thanks a lot for your reply, I just love the mighty Vic High Country.
So many huts to check mate and all have amazing history attached.
I'll see what I can do make about putting together a video with the hut information you have asked about.
A bush hut would be ace to have on your own property, thats for sure.
Thanks again mate.
Cheers Batesy.

Hope none have been burnt in the current fires
Great content Tim
So far the Mansfield side is going ok with the huts. Not sure about the other side around Walhalla, Licola and Dargo.
Tim..please stop promoting my backyard!! Its hard enough these days to get a park in the High Street in Mansfield on any long weekend as it is!! So no more telling everyone how beautiful and peaceful it is with the great views and the clear waters of the Howqua and Delatite rivers....joking mate...great stuff and have camped at Bluff and Lovick huts over the years and still see Charlie poking about the place!! More when you can !!
G'day mate,
Yes, the Mansfield area has so many amazing places to visit.
I reckon there is still a few carparks in the Main Street, to park in. :-)
It's great catching up with Charlie, he has some amazing stories to tell.
Thanks for your feed back mate, really appreciate it.
@@timbates4wdadventures I will tell him you do some great stuff up our way and that he gets a mention...not sure if Charlie is TH-cam savvy!!
Thanks mate.
I have extended hut filming ideas from what I have just down, and long standing cattlemen families like the Lovicks I would like to sit down with some day and run a few ideas past.
Thanks again for your reply mate. @@craigwillis3372
@@timbates4wdadventures Best to do it with the blokes that can remember all the history as they get older the younger generation of these families know 'some' of what went on in the old days but these guys...eg Charlie and G Stoney et al still recall their childhood spent up in the hills and can recall all the stories!
Yeah absolutely spot on mate. @@craigwillis3372
