King Basin Rd & Craigs Hut

Jamey King Basin road is basically a flat 2wd track although after rain can get pretty slippery. At the moment river crossings are 300 to 500mm deep with a firm stoney bottom so should pose you no problems. Local heavy rain can see the crossings fast flowing & up 1.5m deep although unlikey with the drought.
One of the workers that rebuilt Craigs Hut drove an SS Commodore ute so it's a very easy drive from the Circuit rd. Continuing up over Mt Stirling or down Monument track has an increased challenge.

jamey,

King Basin Road does have river crossings, generally not too bad. Watch the 3rd crossing form King Hut it is properly the one with the biggest rocks that are hard to see in the river.

If the 1st river crossing is up from King Hut, and you don't feel comfortable about crossing that one, the rest of the crossings are more of a challenge.

This is typical of the river crossings.

The last time that I was there, Jan 2009, King Hut was burnt out. I have not heard of any rebuild, but will have a look next week when I am there again.

The road up to Craigs Hut is well signed post, just watch the turn off the Circuit Rd as it is on a blind corner.
