Going up along the Travers river and the not less pretty Cupola creek leads to the recently refurbished hut. The site is exceptional with a view of the whole Hopeless range. Day trips to the various high passes provide views of the various valleys and peaks of St Arnaud range.

Gunsight pass gives access to the Sabine valley or to Travers saddle for the experienced parties. Unequalled view of Mt. Cupola on the way.
