Craig’s Hut on Mt Stirling was built as a set for The Man from Snowy River film. It burned down in December 2006 in the Great Divide bushfire that scorched a million hectares of land over 69 days. Craig’s Hut was rebuilt in 2008.

The descent from Mt Magdala and Mt Hewitt is called the Devil's Staircase because it is so steep. "Jessica's Cliff," or the place where Jesica falls down onto a ledge and is rescued by Jim, is at Hell's Window is due East of Mt Magdala.

"He hails from Snowy River, up by Kosciusko's side, Where the hills are twice as steep and twice as rough, Where a horse's hoofs strike firelight from the flint stones every stride, The man that holds his own is good enough."

A.B. "Banjo" Paterson (1890)

"And the Snowy River riders on the mountains make their home, Where the river runs those giant hills between"

A. B. "Banjo" Paterson (1890)

In the film, Clancy says "Jim, Mr Harrison was just talking of taming the Snowy River country. You know it better than anyone. What do you think?"

Jim replies: "Well, sir, I think you might sooner hold back the tide than tame the mountains."

Jim Craig (to Harrison): "You might sooner hold back the tide than tame the mountains."
