Falls Creek Hut - FC
NOT the Falls Creek Hut at Matlock
Located There is also a historical Falls Creek Hut on the old Yarra Track, recorded in a heritage assessment. It was close to the junciton of Falls Creek and the Upper Yarra River.
A reconstruction of the old track places the hut ruins just downstream of the Falls Creek–Yarra River junction. The track then climbed the spur between the two streams towards present-day Eighteen Mile Road.
The 1937 Australian and New Zealand Ski Year Book supports this locality: it places Yarra Falls Hut below the falls, 14 miles (about 22.5 km) along the Baw Baw Tourist Track from McVeigh’s.
