Holloways Road

You'll discover Holloways Road as a genuine backcountry experience through the rural landscape near Buchan South, offering 4WD enthusiasts the chance to explore lesser-traveled terrain in Victoria's Gippsland region. This 7.8 km route takes you through working farmland and natural bushland, where you'll encounter a mix of well-maintained tracks and more challenging sections that reward careful vehicle handling and route-finding skills.

The drive presents varied terrain that keeps you engaged throughout, with open pastoral sections giving way to tree-lined passages that test your navigation abilities. You should be prepared for potential weather impacts on track conditions—Victorian country roads can change significantly depending on recent rainfall, and you'll want to check local conditions before heading out. Carry recovery equipment and ensure your 4WD is in good working order, as this remote route doesn't offer frequent services or assistance.

What makes Holloways Road appealing is its authentic, unmanicured character. You're navigating genuine backcountry rather than a purpose-built tourist trail, which means you'll need good situational awareness and mechanical confidence. The Newtracs app can help you track your route and progress, ensuring you stay oriented in this quiet corner of South Gippsland.
