Cobb Spur Track

You'll discover an intriguing short spur that branches off into the remote high country near Licola, offering 4WD enthusiasts a chance to explore Victoria's alpine terrain in concentrated form. The Cobb Spur Track delivers a compact off-road experience where you can test your vehicle's capabilities on challenging mountain country without committing to a full day's expedition. This makes it ideal for drivers wanting to sample the region's rugged landscape or use it as a warm-up before tackling longer adjacent routes.

The track winds through classic Victorian alpine scenery, with vegetation transitioning as you gain elevation. You'll encounter variable terrain typical of spur tracks in this region—expect rocky sections, potential washouts, and the kind of uneven ground that demands careful line choice and steady vehicle control. The relatively short distance is deceptive; the concentrated nature of the terrain means you'll face genuine technical challenges despite the modest length.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is well-maintained and equipped for remote alpine conditions. The high country weather can change rapidly, so check conditions and bring appropriate supplies. While the track itself is brief, its location in the Licola area means you're accessing genuinely isolated country where self-reliance matters. Using the Newtracs app to track your progress can help you navigate this lesser-known spur accurately and share your experience with the 4WD community.
