If you're seeking a perfect introduction to off-roading near the stunning Wye River region, Kennett Road delivers an accessible yet genuinely rewarding drive through Victoria's coastal hinterland. You'll navigate a straightforward 10-kilometre route that showcases the area's natural beauty without demanding advanced driving skills, making it ideal for families or those new to 4WD adventures.
