Mount Buller

Mount Buller is a summit in the Victorian Alps that rises to 1,805 meters within the Great Dividing Range. At its peak stands a stone distance dial that shows directions to surrounding landmarks and peaks.

Explorer Thomas Livingstone Mitchell named the mountain in 1836 after Charles Buller from the Colonial Office during a surveying expedition. The local Taungurong people had previously called it Warrinebut.

The Klingsporn walking track follows an original bridle trail that stockmen utilized during summer months to reach the mountain's upper sections.

The summit is accessible by driving to the village and walking 500 meters to reach the top, or by hiking the more demanding Klingsporn track starting from Merimbah. Conditions vary with the season, and bringing layers is wise since weather changes quickly at this elevation.

This location records roughly 67 to 68 snow days each year, the most documented for any place on the Australian mainland. This exceptional snow frequency makes it a rare spot for winter activities in otherwise warm Australia.
