Rowleys Spur Road

Rowleys Spur Road offers 4WD enthusiasts a short but scenic detour through the picturesque Tanjil Bren region of Victoria. This 0.8 km trail provides an excellent opportunity to explore off-road terrain without committing to a lengthy adventure, making it ideal for those looking to break up a longer drive or test their vehicle's capabilities on varied ground. You'll navigate through native forest landscapes that showcase the natural beauty of the Gippsland area, with opportunities to appreciate the local flora and wildlife along the way.

The trail's moderate terrain and gentle grades make it accessible for a range of vehicle types and experience levels. You should expect forest roads with variable surface conditions—typical of rural Victoria's logging and forestry routes. The short duration means you can complete this trail in under an hour, allowing flexibility in your day's itinerary. Before heading out, ensure your 4WD is in good working order and carry essential supplies including water and a basic recovery kit, as this remote area has limited services nearby.

While Rowleys Spur Road remains unrated and largely untested on the Newtracs platform, it presents an intriguing opportunity for early explorers to document their experience and contribute to the growing community knowledge of Victoria's 4WD routes. Whether you're a seasoned off-roader or developing your skills, this trail offers a manageable introduction to forest driving with genuine scenic rewards.
