The Survey Track was the original track used by Surveyors and early construction workers on the Kiewa Hydro Scheme.
It used to link Mount Beauty to Bogong Village.

The Survey Track is a dual use so watch out for walkers.

This ride has no steep uphills, however there is a great downhill back into Mt. Beauty. A classic rollercoaster singletrack with nice views of the East Kiewa River, Mount Beauty and the Kiewa Valley.
