Route & Itinerary
The Buller Huts Trail is an opportunity to independently experience the best of the Victorian Alps. Offering breathtaking scenery and a true sense of remoteness, the Buller Huts Trail commences on Mount Buller, high in the Victorian Alps and traverses some of Victoria’s most spectacular mountain summits and historic high country huts.

Live Tracking
We have setup a map where you can track our trip. The tracking device is a Garmin InReach Mini and it sends updates every 10 minutes to a detailed map. It will be turned on each morning and turned off once we reach our evening camp. You can acccess the map (mobile or desktop) from: https://share.garmin.com/share/seedstrek2022 using the password: “pwd123“.
