Telephone Box Junction

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

Went there by MTB in February, it’s locked and everything seemed to be abandoned. We needed water to continue the Epic trail, but there were no water station at all along the whole trail. We used the tap water in the toilet here.

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.

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

The facilities at Telephone Box Junction (TBJ) are very good in the winter with an excellent ski patrol, well-stocked ski hire, cosy public shelter and cafe and a heated toilet block. If the snow is melting, the carpark can turn into a slushy, muddy swimming pool which makes it hard to keep footwear dry. It is therefore important to have boots or ski boots on your feet the moment you get out of your car and then watch where you step. Hence the 3 star rating. However under dryer snow conditions, the carpark is fine.

Very small place. Good for first timers. Nice in Winter and I guess in Summer too. Its good for small kids toboggans or intermediate to advanced cross country skiers. Mt Stirling Cafe is ok, but the young waitress needs customer service readjusting. Rest of the staff are welcoming.

Opening hours need to be updated. We were there at 11am on a Sunday and the building was locked. Have had a great experience here in the past, would love to update my review once the opening hours are correct.

This is at the junction to the Circuit Road from here in summer you can travel that road to a number of huts and other 4wd tracks. There is a cafe and ski hire business here but the cafe was not open the day we went through.

A good base for ski touring on Mt Stirling. Ski hire and ski patrol are there.
