Selwyn Track

You'll discover a challenging short-burst trail near Abbeyard that rewards drivers willing to tackle some serious elevation. The Selwyn Track packs considerable technical difficulty into its compact 1.8 km length, with an 11% grade that demands respect and proper vehicle setup. This isn't a leisurely scenic drive—it's a test of your 4WD's capability and your own driving skill on steep terrain.

The track winds through Victoria's backcountry with demanding gradient sections that will keep you focused throughout your run. You should approach this trail with appropriate tyre pressure adjustments and low-range gearing ready to engage. Ground clearance matters here, and you'll want to ensure your vehicle is up to the challenge before committing. The unrated status means conditions can be variable, so check local conditions and recent reports before heading out.

This is the kind of trail that separates casual weekend drivers from those serious about off-road progression. The short distance is deceptive—the steep grade and technical nature mean you'll need concentration and control rather than speed. Bring recovery gear, travel with a mate if possible, and be prepared to take your time navigating the most demanding sections.
