Tomahawk Creek Huts, Heritage-listed mining huts in Central Highlands Region, Australia.

Tomahawk Creek Huts is a heritage-listed group of 21 huts in undulating bushland at Argyll near Rubyvale, Central Highlands Region, Queensland. Most began as caravans with canvas annexes, then gained roofs and walls of galvanised iron on bush-timber poles tied with wire; some lower walls and outdoor barbecues use "billy boulders", large irregular siliceous stones. The main track runs roughly parallel to Hut Creek where most huts stand.

The huts began appearing in the 1960s when miners came seeking gemstones in this region. The area was later designated as a fossicking zone and is now heritage-protected.

Residents of the huts act as a community, meeting regularly and sharing shopping trips and medical visits to the towns. They keep an eye on each other's huts when owners are away, and the most substantial hut, The Lodge on lot 17, once housed a shop.

Tomahawk Creek lies about 25 km west of Rubyvale, reached via the unsealed Reklaw Park track, which leaves the Clermont Road 27 km from Rubyvale. The main track runs roughly parallel to Hut Creek, where most huts stand. Camping on the fossicking area requires a permit, valid for up to three months.

Some of the huts started as caravans and were gradually expanded with extra rooms and lean-tos. This step-by-step growth made each one a personal project of its residents.
