Bee Track

Prepare yourself for one of Victoria's most unforgiving challenges—the Bee Track near Colbrook demands respect, skill, and serious mechanical backup. This extreme 4WD test packs all its punishment into a brutal 0.4 km sprint that'll have your heart racing and your vehicle screaming. You'll navigate a punishing 14% grade while tackling multiple river crossings that can shift dramatically with seasonal conditions, making this a trail that rewards preparation and experience in equal measure.

The terrain here is relentless, combining steep rocky ascents with water obstacles that'll test your vehicle's articulation and your own nerve. You'll need a properly equipped rig with winch capability—this isn't optional, it's essential. The surrounding landscape offers little mercy; dense Victorian bush creates a confined, intense driving experience where mistakes have real consequences. Despite its brevity, the Bee Track consistently humbles even seasoned off-roaders, which explains why only 38 vehicles have conquered it.

This trail demands meticulous planning before you arrive. Bring recovery equipment, check water levels beforehand, and honestly assess whether your vehicle and your skills are genuinely up to the challenge. The five-minute completion time is deceptive—those five minutes will feel like an eternity of technical precision and controlled aggression. If you're chasing an extreme test of your 4WD capabilities, the Bee Track delivers it in spades. Use Newtracs to log your attempt and join the exclusive club of drivers who've tamed this beast.
