History

The Mount Buffalo Chalet was built in 1910 by the Public Works Department as the first ski resort in the Victorian Alps. It was leased to private enterprise as a guest house.[1][2] In October 1924 it was taken over by the Victorian Railways who offered holiday packages, with train services from Melbourne connecting with Hoys Roadlines services at Porepunkah railway station.[3][4][5][6]

In December 1985 it passed to the Victorian Tourism Commission.[3] After being leased privately in 1993, it closed in January 2007.[5][7] It is the largest timber building in Australia.[8]
