BP MANSFIELD
ROADHOUSE
On
the road to the High Country
|
|
 |
The BP
Roadhouse situated on Mount Buller Road about 1 km east of Mansfield
offers full service station facilities and a well stocked take away food
shop.
They also have a good stock of maps for
the nearby High Country and Mountain Goldfields regions. |
| If you Start
your adventure into the Victorian High Country from the BP Roadhouse,
Mansfield you are already on the main road leading to 4WD destinations
such as Mount Buller, Mount Stirling, Craig's Hut, The Howqua River, Upper
Jamieson, Mitchells Flat, and Licola.
Mountain scenery such as this is
commonplace among the many 4WD tracks which lead to, from, and around the
aforementioned places.

During winter,
snow-based recreation is a popular pastime at Mounts Buller and Stirling.
Chains must be carried by vehicles heading for the snow resorts during the
snow season. They can be hired from the BP Roadhouse.

Travel Tip |
| There's
no doubt that everyone interested in four-wheel driving, bushwalking and
horse-riding should visit an icon of Victoria's Alpine Region in Craig's
Hut. Believe it or not, some people actually think it is an easy drive
for a city sedan. Yes, a city sedan will get within a couple of kilometres
but the access road (Circuit Road) can be fairly rough and an uphill 45
minute walk will be required. So don't leave it until after lunch for a
return journey from Mansfield unless you have a 4WD vehicle; and even then
an early start is advised to make the most of the scenery and attractions
along the way.
Four-wheel drives should have no problem
coping with the 2 kilometres from the Stirling Circuit Road to the hut. In
fact, you will probably have time to visit a hut or two along the way. Our
suggestion is Razorback Hut, down a track off the Circuit Road on the
Mansfield side of No.3 Road. |
