Brach Track

Get ready to test your 4WD's mettle on the Brach Track, where steep grades and challenging terrain make this a rewarding medium-difficulty adventure near Woolenook. This 3.5 km route demands respect and skill, with a punishing 33% grade that'll have you working the throttle and carefully managing momentum through the most technical sections. You'll need solid vehicle control and confidence navigating tight, heavily-graded terrain that separates casual drivers from serious off-roaders.

The drive typically takes around 28 minutes to complete, though you should allow extra time if conditions are wet or if you're taking it cautiously—which is wise. The landscape reveals authentic Victorian bushland as you work your way through, and the challenging sections provide genuine engagement rather than a leisurely cruise. You'll appreciate the natural drainage patterns and rocky outcrops that define the track's character.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in top condition with properly inflated tyres and functioning diff locks if available. Bring recovery gear and let someone know your plans, as the steep grades demand respect and preparation. The Brach Track isn't for everyone, but if you're looking to genuinely challenge yourself and your vehicle in a medium-difficulty setting, this is exactly the kind of trail that builds real off-road experience.
