Have you spotted Larry the Lyrebird
whilst visiting Telephone Box Junction
at Mt Stirling? He is unique in that
he is made entirely out of rubbish
collected from the entry of Mt Stirling,
made by students from Lauriston Girls’
School (Howqua). The sculpture is part
of a project to reduce litter by getting
visitors to sort and remove their
own waste. It builds on the ethic of
‘carry in carry out’ and ‘leave no trace’.
Overnight guests and groups are able
to pick up their own portable waste kit
from Stirling Ski Patrol at Telephone
Box Junction. After more than a ten year absence
(caused by the Great Alpine Fires of
2006–07), the micro-hydroelectric
facility was re-installed at Mt Stirling
to provide a renewable energy supply
to the visitor facilities at Telephone
Box Junction (TBJ). Now in its second
year of operation, Mt Stirling and her
visitors can breathe a sigh of relief
and enjoy the peace and quiet and lack
of fumes within the Resort not having
to rely on a diesel-powered generator
for its electricity needs. Thanks to
a government environmental grant
and hard work from the Resort
Management Board, Mt Stirling is
happily now cleaner and greener! New for 2019, our mobile-friendly
website will make planning ahead
and booking resort entry and parking
even easier. Book online in advance
to save big! View our daily trail and
weather updates from Stirling Patrol
and keep an eye on our live snow-
cams for snow conditions.
