Bubbs Track

You'll discover a genuine local gem at Bubbs Track, where compact 4WD vehicles can enjoy responsive driving through varied terrain that keeps your skills sharp without overwhelming inexperienced drivers. This medium-difficulty trail near Mandurang offers the perfect introduction to off-road driving, with a manageable 1.4 km route that you can complete in around 18 minutes.

The track takes you through mixed woodland and open sections, presenting natural obstacles and undulating ground that test your vehicle's articulation and your ability to read the terrain. You'll navigate rocky patches and rutted sections that demand precise throttle control and good line choice, rewarding attentive driving with genuine engagement. The lack of steep grades means you can focus on technical precision rather than extreme angles, making this an ideal confidence-builder for developing your off-road skills.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition and carry essential recovery gear. Given that only one vehicle has recorded a completion on the Newtracs app so far, you'll likely enjoy a peaceful, uncrowded experience. Check local conditions before your visit, as Victoria's variable weather can impact track conditions significantly. This is the kind of trail where preparation and attention matter more than raw power—perfect for those keen to improve their 4WD handling in a supportive environment.
