Here's is another wonderful entry in this year's Wilderness Photographer of the Year, presented by Southern Ocean Walk.

This one taken by Yvette Pethebridge is of Craig's Hut, arguably the most famous Vic High Country hut.

Perched atop Mt Stirling, Craig’s Hut offers stunning views of the ranges and is one of the regions most photographed landmarks.

First built as a set for The Man From Snowy River film, the hut has now become an iconic symbol of Australia’s settler history.

If you’re willing to stick around until dark, you’ll also be treated to the starry spectacle of the Milky Way uninterrupted by city lights.

Craig's Hut is 19km from Telephone Box Junction and can be accessed via the Circuit Road. There is a 4WD track that leads directly to the hut, or there is a 1.2km walking track which begins at the Day Visitor Area.

We love how sharp and vivid the image is - and the sun just above the roof adds an extra layer of drama to the picture. Well done Yvette!
