Dungeon Gully Track

Dungeon Gully Track offers 4WD enthusiasts a rewarding medium-difficulty adventure through Victoria's scenic Howqua Hills region. This 2.3 km route combines technical rock sections with open forest driving, delivering an engaging experience that's challenging enough to be interesting but accessible for drivers building their off-road skills. You'll navigate rocky outcrops and uneven terrain that demands careful line selection and steady vehicle control, making it an excellent training ground for intermediate drivers.

The landscape unfolds through mixed eucalypt forest with stunning hilltop views, particularly rewarding for those who appreciate Victoria's high country character. You should expect plenty of rock-studded sections that test your vehicle's articulation and your driving precision—these naturally formed obstacles are what make Dungeon Gully genuinely engaging rather than just another bush bash. The track remains non-steep throughout, so traction and ground clearance matter more than hill-climbing ability.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good condition with adequate ground clearance and appropriate tyres for rocky terrain. Bring recovery gear and let someone know your plans, as mobile reception can be patchy in the hills. With over 70 vehicles having successfully completed this track, you'll be joining a growing community of 4WD explorers discovering what makes the Howqua region special. Plan for around 17 minutes of driving time, though you may want to add extra time for photos and enjoying the scenery.
