Bridge Track

If you're seeking an accessible off-road adventure with genuine water crossing challenges, Bridge Track delivers an excellent introduction to river fording without overwhelming difficulty. Located near Murray-Sunset in Victoria, this 5.5 km route combines manageable terrain with the thrill of multiple water crossings that keep you engaged throughout the drive.

You'll navigate gently undulating country with no steep grades to negotiate, making this trail ideal for intermediate 4WD drivers looking to build their crossing experience. The river crossings are the highlight here—each one presents its own character and requires careful line selection and respect for water depth. The surrounding semi-arid landscape offers authentic outback scenery, with native vegetation framing your route as you work through the track at a leisurely pace.

Before heading out, check current water levels and recent rainfall, as crossing conditions can change significantly. Ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition and carry recovery gear—while the terrain itself isn't severe, water crossings always demand preparedness. The 7-minute average completion time reflects the cautious approach required at each crossing rather than the actual driving distance. This is the perfect trail to log on Newtracs and gain confidence in water crossing technique.
