Old Zeka Spur Track

Old Zeka Spur Track will challenge your vehicle handling skills and test your navigation abilities in one of Victoria's most remote alpine regions. Despite its modest 2.0 km length, this hard-rated track demands serious commitment—most drivers spend over 10 hours tackling its obstacles, making it a full-day expedition rather than a quick run. You'll navigate through rugged terrain near Howitt Plains where dense vegetation, rocky sections, and technical obstacles create an intensely rewarding driving experience for seasoned 4WD enthusiasts.

The landscape here is genuinely wild, with narrow spur tracks cutting through alpine scrub and exposed rocky outcrops that require precise vehicle placement. You'll encounter multiple water crossings and deeply rutted sections that demand careful line selection and good vehicle clearance. While the gradient remains moderate, the cumulative difficulty comes from terrain complexity rather than steep climbs. Preparation is essential—bring recovery gear, extra fuel, and navigate with detailed maps since mobile coverage is unreliable. Only five vehicles have successfully completed this track, highlighting both its remoteness and the skill required.

The sense of isolation and accomplishment makes Old Zeka Spur Track unforgettable for experienced drivers willing to invest the time and effort.
