Known as Boggy Creek Hut or Boggy Creek CRB Hut. This is separate from Dinner Plain CRB Hut.
Located at the side of the sealed Great Alpine Road near Boggy Creek, on the Omeo side of Dinner Plain.
From Dinner Plain drive towards Omeo; the local visitor guide describes it as about 6 km along the road. Stop only at a safe formed parking area, then walk the short distance to the hut. There is no need to follow a rough 4WD track to this roadside site. Winter snow, ice and chain requirements may affect the approach.
History
Built in a very similar style to the Dinner Plain CRB hut, and about the same time, 1923–25 (VHCHA’s detailed account specifies summer 1923–24). The hut survived the 1939 fires, but has lost its door and window. It also has a dirt floor.
Construction
Steep gabled tin roof with tin walls. The door, fireplace and window have all collapsed.
