Ranking: 10/10

No hut!
But a lovely campsite with a perfectly ventilated toilet.
Coldwater stream delivers really cold and crystal clear water.
Accessible by 4WD, MTB or hiking on the rainbow route (toll road!) from St. Arnaud to Hanmer Springs.

Good hut and a few sites for tents, no water inside, but toilets/fireplace and beds/mattresses, quiet and beautiful when it's good weather, easy walking.
