Steen Track

You'll find the Steen Track offers an accessible introduction to off-road driving near Coomboona, perfect for those building their 4WD confidence without tackling extreme terrain. This compact 0.8 km route delivers genuine adventure in a short timeframe, making it ideal for weekend explorers or drivers keen to test their vehicle's capabilities on varied ground.

The track takes you through diverse Victorian landscape, combining gentle grades with engaging surface conditions that will keep you attentive behind the wheel. You'll navigate sandy patches interspersed with rocky sections, requiring steady throttle control and smooth steering inputs. The scenery rewards your efforts with views of the surrounding bushland, and the relatively straightforward 3-minute run means you can focus on technique rather than survival mode. Despite its medium difficulty rating, the trail demands respect—bring proper recovery equipment, ensure your tyres are in good condition, and check weather conditions beforehand, as wet conditions could transform the sandy sections into slippery obstacles. Starting early in the day is recommended to maximise daylight and visibility.

This is the kind of trail where one vehicle has already proven the route viable, making it a worthy addition to your Victorian 4WD bucket list. Use the Newtracs app to log your own experience and discover what other enthusiasts have found on this rewarding short-distance challenge.
