Moonkan Track

The Moonkan Track delivers a genuine challenge for experienced 4WD drivers seeking technical terrain near Yalmy. You'll navigate a demanding 6km route that pushes both vehicle and operator, with a consistent 5% grade that keeps you engaged throughout the entire run. This isn't a casual Sunday drive—it's a serious test of your off-road skills and vehicle capability.

What makes Moonkan special is the varied landscape you'll encounter. Rocky outcrops punctuate sections of tightly woven native vegetation, creating natural obstacles that demand careful line selection and precise throttle control. The narrow corridor between dense scrub means limited room for error, and overhanging branches will test your spatial awareness. Visibility changes dramatically as you move through different terrain pockets, so pace yourself accordingly.

Before attempting this trail, ensure your vehicle is in peak mechanical condition and that you're carrying recovery gear. The steep grade combined with rocky patches creates genuine bogging risks, particularly after wet weather. You'll need genuine 4WD experience and confidence with technical driving. While only a handful of vehicles have successfully completed Moonkan, those who do finish report an exhilarating sense of accomplishment. Track the route using the Newtracs app's offline maps to ensure you maintain the correct line through this unforgiving terrain.
