Mt Stirling’s main hub is at Telephone Box Junction, approximately 8 km drive from the base of the mountain.
At Telephone Box Junction you will find:

Visitor Centre – discover all you need to know about the various trails and activities available on the mountain
The Mt Stirling Cafe. The place to grab great home-made food, including tea and coffee, a range of sweet treats, tasty toasties, sausage rolls, pies - and of course excellent service and local knowledge!
Public shelter – need some shade or protection from a passing shower, a good undercover spot for a snack while you plan your adventure.
Public toilets can be found behind the Visitor Centre at Telephone Box Junction, and are also situated at key locations around the mountain including Cricket Pitch, King Saddle, Razorback Hut, Bluff Spur Hut, Howqua Gap, Hut 36 and at GGS Hut near the summit.

Come snow season TBJ is also home to the following:

Ski School - regular lessons are offered for adults and children of all ages, as well as school group programs and social tours
First Aid Centre and the Ski Patrol base – get advice on the alpine conditions or seek medical assistance from the friendly and capable Ski Patrol team
Ski Hire – rent toboggans, waterproof clothing, snowshoes, cross-country and telemark skis for hire

Perfect spot for the kids to snow play.
The road up is unsealed but well maintained.
The tobogganing slope was right next to the car park. A cafe and ski hire nearby. A toilet/change room behind the cafe.
We only planned to toboggan but the 4&8yo also wanted to try skiing. We missed out on lessons but were kitted up and directed to a training slope. We spent way longer there than I thought we would (everyone actually enjoying the many numerous falls).
The Cafe was warm and inviting. Awesome hot drinks and food choices plus a roaring fire to quickly dry our wet cuffs.
Everyone was so friendly. Annabelle in the cafe. Panda in the ski hire. And everyone we met and chatted to everywhere in between.

Ski hire, cafe and patrol station. Hire shop has large range of styles with great service. Cafe great pastries and awesome hot chocolate.
Make sure you let patrol know your intentions when skiing

An oasis on your expedition along the Australian Alpine Epic Trail. Great place to stop for lunch, drinks, stock up water or buy a spare tube for your bike. We thawed out by the fire and chatted with the friendly manager

Love this place! My 6yo got his first taste (literally) of snow. We'll be back for sure ☃

such a lovely place to visit, specially when compared to the chaos of buller.
stunning environment

Great base to start your next adventure from.

A critical stop on the famous and tedious epic trail

An amazing oasis in a hostile environment.
