Silvermine Spur Track

Silvermine Spur Track delivers an exhilarating challenge for experienced 4WD drivers seeking technical terrain near Mount Buller. This 6.2 km route punishes overconfidence with a relentless 29% grade that demands precision, vehicle control, and genuine off-road skill. You'll navigate rocky outcrops, deeply rutted sections, and tight switchbacks that test both your driving ability and your vehicle's capabilities.

The scenery unfolds through high-altitude alpine terrain, offering stunning views across Victoria's mountain landscape as you climb. You'll encounter exposed rocky shelves, loose scree, and sections where traction becomes your primary concern. The track's reputation speaks for itself—only 55 determined drivers have successfully completed it, and you'll understand why every turn presents a new obstacle. Recovery points are minimal, so commitment and preparation are essential.

Before attempting Silvermine Spur, ensure your vehicle is in top mechanical condition with quality tyres, appropriate suspension, and reliable braking systems. Bring recovery gear, extra fuel, and navigate with tools like the Newtracs app to track your progress and understand the terrain ahead. This isn't a leisurely weekend drive—it's a serious test of 4WD capability that typically takes 36 minutes of intense concentration to complete. Only tackle this trail if you have genuine off-road experience and a vehicle built for extreme terrain.
