Currawang Track

You'll discover why the Currawang Track is a prized challenge for serious 4WD enthusiasts in the rugged Eldorado region. This hard-rated trail demands respect and skill, with its steep 9% grade testing your vehicle's traction and your nerve as you navigate technical terrain that separates amateur drivers from experienced off-roaders.

The 1.4 km track compresses an impressive amount of challenge into a relatively short distance, with most drivers completing the route in around 16 minutes—though conditions and your approach speed will significantly impact your time. You'll encounter steep rocky sections, unforgiving grades, and tight terrain that requires precise vehicle control and good line selection. The landscape surrounding the trail reflects the rugged beauty of Victoria's high country, with native vegetation framing the challenge ahead.

Before tackling Currawang Track, ensure your 4WD is in top mechanical condition with quality tyres offering excellent grip and sidewall protection. You should carry recovery gear, a snatch strap, and ideally have spotters familiar with difficult terrain. The steep grades mean engine braking is essential on descent, so understand your vehicle's capabilities thoroughly. Only eight vehicles have successfully documented this trail through the Newtracs app, which speaks to its genuine difficulty. This isn't a trail for learning—it's one for proving your skills.
