Mount Buller Western Ridge (Private Car)
Joined 2022
One of Victori'a best day hikes, Mount Buller's Western Ridge track, renowned as one of the most breathtaking trails. This 10km out-and-back hike promises a thrilling journey through diverse terrain and awe-inspiring views. Beginning in the forest, we ascend to the exposed rocky ridge line, offering panoramic views of the high country above the tree line. While some scrambling is required, the reward of 360° views makes it a hike you won't want to miss.

Tour Important Information
This is a day hike around the Lerderderg National Park and this is still a very wild bush. We can come in contact with animals and snakes. So it is important to take all necessary precautions and respect the wildlife we may come into contact with.
You will be required to carry your own food, drink and any hiking gear you want to bring. I would recommend comfortable and durable shoes, backpack and water as essentials. It is probably a good idea to bring an electrolyte drink as sweating will deplete your body of minerals. Dress comfortably.
Toilets are only available at Mackenzie's Flat Car Park.
We have two vehicles we use for transport based on number of people. There is a 2023 Suzuki Jimny for 1 - 2 hikers and a 2000 Toyota Landcruiser GXL for 3 - 5 hikers.
Cancellation Policy
- Free cancellation - 8 days prior to meeting time

“Cathedral Ranges Southern Side”
This tour has exceeded my expectation! I thank the supportive and knowledgeable Phil who led the whole bunch of beginners like our group. This hike was considered to be challenging for some of us, but it was so much fun as we got to explore various landscapes along the trail. We spent our lunch on the top of the range, so rewarding!! Best view to have lunch! What we love about the tour with Phil's guidance is that Phil didn't just bring us there, but he became one of the members in the group and he made us feel that we are capable, and as if he got our back! Truly incredible experience!

“Cathedral Ranges Southern Circuit”
Phil was an excellent guide, very helpful and knowledgeable. The cathedral ranges southern circuit was a very scenic and fun hike. The rock climbing and cave sections were very enjoyable and as the route was fairly level, it was not too strenuous apart from some uphill sections.
