Phillips Track

You'll discover why Phillips Track has earned its reputation as a rewarding medium-difficulty challenge near Benayeo. This 2.5 km route delivers genuine off-road driving without the extreme technical demands, making it ideal for operators looking to build confidence on varied terrain. The trail takes you through a mix of rocky sections and rutted tracks where you'll need to focus on line selection and vehicle control, testing your ability to read the country ahead.

The driving experience here is engaging rather than grueling—you'll navigate around obstacles and through shallow drainage lines that demand respect but reward smooth technique. The surrounding landscape offers pleasant Victoria bushland scenery, giving you plenty to appreciate between the technical sections. While there's no dramatic elevation gain, you should prepare for uneven ground that will keep your suspension active and require decent ground clearance.

Before heading out, check your vehicle's condition thoroughly and ensure your tyres have solid tread. The track is relatively short, so you can complete it in around eight minutes of pure driving, though most operators take longer to fully enjoy the experience. Water crossings are possible depending on recent rainfall, so scout conditions if you're unfamiliar with the area. With only a handful of vehicles having completed Phillips Track through Newtracs, you'll be joining a select group of drivers who've tackled this solid medium-grade challenge.
