Log Road

You'll discover why Log Road has earned its place in the Newtracs collection of Victorian off-road adventures—a short but satisfying route that showcases the diverse landscape near Koetong. This medium-difficulty trail cuts through a mix of forest sections and open terrain, offering varied scenery that keeps the drive interesting despite its modest 1.8 km length. The relatively flat grade means you can focus on navigating the track's character rather than wrestling with steep descents, making it an excellent choice for developing your 4WD skills in a forgiving environment.

The driving experience is straightforward with no extreme obstacles, but you'll still encounter enough ruts and uneven surfaces to require genuine off-road capability. The track's name hints at its logging heritage, and you'll drive through sections where the forest canopy closes in before opening into clearer country. Bring appropriate tire pressure for unpaved driving and ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition—while the terrain won't punish carelessness, basic maintenance is essential for any off-road venture.

At just 13 minutes of driving time, Log Road works perfectly as part of a longer exploration of the Koetong area or as a confidence-building run before tackling more challenging routes.
