Mount Stirling

Mount Stirling, Mountain summit in Victoria's High Country, Australia.

Mount Stirling is a mountain in the Victorian Alps, within the Great Dividing Range, reaching 1,747–1,749 metres. It lies entirely inside the Mount Stirling Alpine Resort, a 2,820-hectare unincorporated area about 230 kilometres from Melbourne. Its lower slopes carry Alpine Ash forest, merging into Snowgum woodland above roughly 1,400 metres, with a small treeless summit area.

Mount Stirling was named after James Stirling, a surveyor who later became Victorian Government Geologist. Huts built for loggers and skiers remain: Howqua Gap Hut was moved around the mountain for timber workers, Bluff Spur Hut commemorates two skiers who died of exposure, and Craig's Hut was built as a set for The Man from Snowy River and destroyed by the 2006 Eastern Victoria Great Divide bushfires before being rebuilt.

The mountain's name honours James Stirling, a surveyor who later became Victorian Government Geologist. Several huts carry stories: Bluff Spur Hut is a memorial to two skiers who died of exposure, Howqua Gap Hut was moved around the slopes for loggers, and Craig's Hut was built as a film set for The Man from Snowy River, destroyed by the 2006 bushfires and rebuilt.

In winter the Stirling Circuit Road is closed at Telephone Box Junction; from there the summit is reached on skis, though the lower section sometimes has to be walked. Trail maps are sold at the entry gate. The walk from the Circuit Road to the summit takes under two hours.

Craig's Hut in the Clear Hills was built as a set for the 1982 film The Man from Snowy River, destroyed by the Eastern Victoria Great Divide bushfires on 11 December 2006, and has since been rebuilt. Bluff Spur Hut near the summit stands as a memorial to two skiers who died of exposure on the mountain.
