Break O Day Track (Seasonally Closed)

Break O Day Track offers 4WD enthusiasts a genuine challenge near Kinglake Central, combining technical driving with stunning forest scenery that rewards your effort and skill. You'll navigate 3.3 kilometers of demanding terrain that tests both vehicle capability and driver experience, with a consistent 5% steep grade that demands careful throttle control and steady momentum management throughout your journey.

The track winds through dense native forest, where you'll encounter rutted sections, rocky outcrops, and variable ground conditions that keep you engaged from start to finish. Tree-lined corridors create a canopy experience unique to Victoria's high country, though you should be prepared for muddy patches, especially after rain, and potential fallen branches blocking your path. The average completion time of just over an hour reflects the technical nature of the drive rather than distance—you'll be working throughout.
