Five Ways Track

You'll discover why Five Ways Track has earned its reputation as a perfect introduction to off-road driving near Toolangi. This gently rolling 2.1 km route offers newcomers and experienced drivers alike an accessible way to explore Victoria's verdant hinterland without the technical demands of more challenging tracks. The flat terrain means you can focus on enjoying the drive rather than wrestling with steep grades or treacherous obstacles.

As you navigate the track, you'll pass through lush forest scenery typical of the Dandenong Ranges area, with native vegetation flanking your route and plenty of opportunities to spot local wildlife. The well-defined path is straightforward to follow, making it ideal for testing your vehicle's off-road capability in a low-pressure environment. With only six vehicles logged on Newtracs so far, you'll experience relative solitude despite being close to populated areas.

Preparation is minimal for this easy trail—ensure your vehicle is in good working order and carry basic supplies, though the short 2-minute average completion time means you're never far from help. The lack of steep sections means standard 4WD vehicles handle it comfortably, making Five Ways Track an excellent choice for family outings or those building confidence in off-road driving.
