Black Spur, Mountain road in Victoria, Australia
The Black Spur stretches for 27.9 kilometers through the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges, featuring tall mountain ash trees and fern-filled valleys.
The road served as a critical transportation route for timber extraction in Victoria during the early settlement period, connecting the Yarra Valley to the high country.
Modern travelers follow this mountain path through dense eucalyptus forests, experiencing a characteristic part of Australian natural heritage.
Drivers should check traffic.vicroads.vic.gov.au for potential closures, particularly after storms, and plan their journey during daylight hours for better visibility.
The road passes through forests containing mountain ash trees that reach heights of over 100 meters, creating natural tunnels above the winding road.

These botanical paths feature beech trees, cherry blossoms, bamboo, maple and oak trees. The branches form natural vaults over roads, paths and railway lines. Some were deliberately planted, others developed over decades. The tunnels provide shade in summer and change their appearance with the seasons.
