The following day was a hot one, so we made our way into the foothills of Mount Buller. Carters Mill is 30km east of Mansfield and was the site of a former sawmill. Though nothing was left of the mill, it made for a nice morning tea spot and a good place to appreciate some high country scenery.

It’s not too far from the locations used in The Man From Snowy River films of the 1980’s, which I was a bit taken with as a child. Although we didn’t get out to Craig’s Hut (it’s a 4WD only location), it was good to finally be in the vicinity.
