Mount Gregory Track

You'll discover why the Mount Gregory Track is a favourite among 4WD enthusiasts seeking authentic water crossing challenges without extreme technical difficulty. Near Jericho, Victoria, this compact 1.2 km route packs genuine adventure into a quick 2-minute run, making it perfect for drivers wanting to test their water fording skills or build confidence in a medium-difficulty setting. The track's defining feature is its river crossings—genuine water obstacles that demand respect and proper technique, yet remain navigable for vehicles with reasonable clearance and steady driving.

The terrain itself is surprisingly rewarding for such a short route. You'll navigate through natural Victorian bushland with minimal steep grades (0% average), allowing you to focus on precision rather than gruelling climbs. The scenery combines open approaches with riverine sections that showcase the region's natural character. While the difficulty rating of 2/4 makes this accessible to intermediate drivers, you should still prepare appropriately: check water depth before crossing, ensure your vehicle's water crossings are sealed, and consider carrying recovery gear.

With only three recorded vehicle runs on Newtracs, you'll be joining a small community experiencing this hidden gem. The relatively light traffic means fresher conditions but also less established tracks in places, so stay observant. This trail works brilliantly as a stepping stone between easy practice routes and genuinely challenging 4WD terrain.
