Old Victoria Crossing Track

You'll discover a hidden gem in the Delegate River region where rugged accessibility meets scenic beauty. The Old Victoria Crossing Track offers 4WD enthusiasts an excellent medium-difficulty adventure that showcases Victoria's diverse backcountry without demanding extreme technical skills. This 8.7 km route takes approximately 24 minutes to complete, making it perfect for those wanting a substantial drive without an all-day commitment.

The terrain here is predominantly well-maintained with a gentle 2% grade, so you can focus on soaking in the landscape rather than wrestling with your vehicle. You'll navigate through native bushland with views across the Delegate River valley, experiencing the kind of peaceful remoteness that makes off-road driving rewarding. The track winds through mixed forest and open grassland sections, offering variety throughout your journey. While the difficulty rating of 2/4 suggests this isn't overly technical, you should come prepared with basic recovery gear and ensure your vehicle is in solid condition—the isolated location means help isn't immediate if things go wrong.

Before heading out, check seasonal conditions as wet weather can impact track quality. The relatively low number of vehicle records makes this a quieter alternative to more popular routes, giving you a genuine sense of exploration. Bring water, a charged mobile device, and let someone know your expected return time.
