About this site
Get a glimpse of this area's fascinating post European settlement history with a visit to this heritage High Country hut.
Wilson's Hut was constructed in 1916 from local forest materials and is a rare example of a surviving slab hut. The original occupants, Alfred and Irene Wilson, delivered fresh produce and timber supplies to the nearby Victoria Star Mine and locals at Bendoc.
Today, visitors can explore the hut and make use of the picnic and wood-fired BBQ facilities.
This site is a popular stop for overnight camping for 4WD enthusiasts following the Bendoc Historic Loop Drive as part of the Far East Gippsland Backroad Tour.
Restoring heritage sites
This hut is one of several in the area providing an insight into early settlement and the rich timber harvesting, mining, farming and grazing history of this area. These huts were all impacted by bushfires in recent years and are being carefully restored and repaired.
Help protect our historic huts by following the High Country Huts Code.
