Old Tiger Cat Track

You'll discover why Old Tiger Cat Track has earned its hard rating the moment you commit to this challenging 2.8 km route near Warrenmang. This isn't a casual Sunday drive—it's a genuine test of your 4WD's capabilities and your own nerve behind the wheel. The track demands respect, with a consistent 5% steep grade that will have your vehicle working hard throughout the entire 13-minute journey.

The terrain punishes hesitation, featuring deeply rutted sections carved by years of heavy machinery and seasonal washouts that'll keep you alert and engaged. You'll navigate through native bush scenery that rewards your concentration with glimpses of Victoria's rugged landscape. The narrow track width means there's little margin for error, and the combination of steep grades and loose surface demands precise throttle control and careful line selection. Vegetation crowds in from both sides in places, adding to the technical challenge.

Before attempting Old Tiger Cat Track, ensure your vehicle is in top mechanical condition—this isn't the place to discover brake issues or worn suspension. Bring recovery gear and ideally a spotter familiar with challenging terrain. Water and fuel should be checked beforehand, as the remote location offers no resupply options. With 46 successful completions logged on Newtracs, you'll have proof that capable 4WDs can conquer this beast—but only with proper preparation and respect for what the trail demands.
