Humpy Creek Track

You'll discover a rewarding medium-difficulty drive near Mitta Mitta that combines technical creek crossings with scenic Alpine foothills terrain. The Humpy Creek Track delivers genuine 4WD challenges without requiring extreme vehicle modifications, making it ideal for drivers looking to build their off-road skills. With only two vehicles having completed this route, you'll experience a relatively remote and less-travelled alternative to overcrowded regional tracks.

The 6-kilometre route tests your vehicle's capabilities through steep grades reaching 20%, demanding careful line selection and steady throttle control. You'll navigate creek beds with rocky outcrops, muddy sections that shift seasonally, and tight vegetation corridors that require precision driving. The surrounding landscape showcases the rugged beauty of Victoria's high country, with native bush gradually giving way to open ridgelines offering glimpses of distant mountain ranges.

Before attempting this track, ensure your vehicle has adequate ground clearance and off-road tyres with good traction. Check recent weather conditions—creek water levels fluctuate significantly after rainfall, potentially making crossings impassable. Carry recovery equipment, extra water, and let someone know your intended route. The 29-minute average completion time assumes steady progress; allow extra time if this is your first challenging drive. Using the Newtracs app's detailed track maps will help you identify the steepest sections and plan your approach accordingly.
