Cullens Track

Experience the rugged charm of Victoria's high country on Cullens Track, where a moderate 4WD challenge meets stunning alpine scenery near Aberfeldy. This 2km route delivers genuine off-road character without overwhelming difficulty—perfect for intermediate drivers looking to build confidence in varied terrain. You'll navigate a consistent 10% grade that keeps things interesting, with rocky sections and natural obstacles that demand careful line selection and smooth vehicle control.

The landscape here is quintessentially Victorian high country: open forest giving way to alpine vegetation, with expansive views across the ranges.
