Currawong North Track

You'll discover an intriguing short route through the Victorian bushland near Brumby that offers 4WD drivers a chance to test their vehicle on challenging terrain without committing to a lengthy expedition. The Currawong North Track presents a compelling mix of technical driving and natural scenery, making it ideal for those looking to explore lesser-known trails in the region.

As you navigate this 1.5 km track, you'll encounter a steady 7% grade that demands respect and proper vehicle setup. The terrain combines variable surfaces typical of regional Victorian tracks, rewarding drivers who maintain good momentum and line selection. The relatively compact length means you can focus on technique rather than endurance, though the gradient ensures you'll need appropriate tyre grip and engine capability to progress smoothly.

Before heading out, ensure your 4WD is in good mechanical condition and carry essential recovery gear—this remote location means assistance won't arrive quickly. Check weather conditions beforehand, as wet ground can dramatically affect traction on slopes like these. The track's current lack of community feedback makes it worthwhile to document your experience and share findings with other enthusiasts through the Newtracs community. Bring water, a communication device, and a basic tool kit. This short but substantial challenge rewards preparation and careful driving.
