Aeroplane Track

You'll discover why Aeroplane Track has earned its reputation as a rewarding medium-difficulty drive near Murrindindi. This 5.3 km route delivers a perfect blend of technical driving and natural beauty without overwhelming novice off-roaders. The track winds through Melbourne's picturesque hinterland, offering views of native forest and open woodland as you navigate a series of rolling terrain sections that'll keep you engaged throughout the 43-minute journey.

The driving experience centres on moderate ruts, uneven surfaces, and occasional rocky sections that demand steady vehicle control and attention. You'll encounter tighter tree-lined passages that require precise steering, balanced against easier open stretches where you can enjoy the surrounding scenery. The trail's zero steep grade means you're focusing on line selection and traction rather than conquering extreme inclines, making it ideal for building your off-road confidence.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle has good ground clearance and reliable all-wheel drive capability. Check your tyres for adequate tread—the track can become slippery after rain—and carry recovery gear for peace of mind. With 238 successful vehicle completions logged, you'll be joining a growing community of drivers who've tackled this classic Victorian trail.
