Members of our 4WD club went off the side of Zeka Spur (Vic) last week, rolling the car twice and luckily being stopped going all the way down by one of the only two trees in that spot.
They were turning a tight corner on one of the switchbacks heading down to the Wonnangatta valley and the side of the track gave way. They weren't doing anything wrong and are experienced drivers taking their time going down but the edge had a build up of sand and medium sized rocks which hadn't bonded together so the last 6-8" of road was very loose. As they made the turn wide, that part just crumbled and over they went.
Fortunately they got out with bruises and cuts but it could have been a lot worse if they missed that tree.
I only mention this in here to provide a warning that we all need to be mindful that the high country can be a dangerous place, even for the most experienced and careful drivers. Please take care out there and don't assume the edges of the tracks are solid.
