Midnight Tank Track

The Midnight Tank Track offers 4WD enthusiasts a perfect introduction to off-road driving near Murray-Sunset, combining accessibility with genuine outback character. You'll traverse 18.1 kilometres of well-maintained track that winds through classic semi-arid Victorian bushland, where red earth and scattered vegetation create an authentic desert experience without demanding advanced driving skills. The flat terrain means you can focus on enjoying the scenery and honing your vehicle handling rather than wrestling with steep grades or technical obstacles.

What makes this trail particularly rewarding is its straightforward nature—zero steep grades means you'll complete the loop in around 27 minutes, making it ideal for families, newer 4WD drivers, or anyone wanting a leisurely exploration of the Murray-Sunset region. The track's gentle character doesn't mean boring; you'll encounter authentic outback landscapes where native wildlife and expansive views reward your journey. Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good working order and carry adequate water and fuel, as services are limited in this remote area.

Despite its easy rating, respect the outback environment by staying on-track and checking local conditions before you go. The Newtracs app will keep you oriented and connected to the community of adventurers who've discovered this hidden gem.
