Goonmirk Rocks Road

Goonmirk Rocks Road offers 4WD enthusiasts an accessible introduction to off-road driving in Victoria's high country, featuring genuine rock formations and scenic countryside near Bendoc. You'll navigate a gentle 3.5 km route that winds through open terrain with minimal technical demands, making it perfect for beginners or those looking for a relaxed weekend drive. The trail's modest 2% grade keeps things straightforward, allowing you to focus on enjoying the landscape rather than wrestling with steep climbs or tricky descents.

The driving experience here is genuinely rewarding despite its easy classification. You'll encounter natural rock outcrops that give the trail its character, with views across the surrounding high country that remind you why Victoria's backcountry is worth exploring. The terrain is relatively forgiving, but you should still maintain awareness of track conditions and bring appropriate recovery gear—this is still remote country where help isn't immediately nearby.

With an estimated completion time of just 8 minutes of actual driving, Goonmirk Rocks Road is ideal for combining with other nearby adventures or as a confidence-building experience before tackling more challenging routes. Basic vehicle preparation is all that's needed: check your tyres, fuel, and water supplies before heading out. The low vehicle count recorded on Newtracs suggests you'll enjoy a peaceful, uncrowded experience exploring this quiet corner of the Victorian backcountry.
