Tennyson Track

You'll discover a rewarding medium-difficulty challenge near Buldah that packs serious punch into a compact package. The Tennyson Track's steep 12% grade delivers genuine technical driving without requiring a full day commitment, making it perfect for sharpening your 4WD skills or testing a recently modified vehicle. The relatively short 1.2 km distance belies the concentration required to navigate this terrain effectively.

As you tackle the track, expect demanding grade work that will keep you engaged throughout the approximately 11-minute run. The terrain varies between rocky sections and rutted surfaces that demand careful line selection and consistent throttle control. You'll need to respect the gradient here—it's steep enough to require proper technique and vehicle capability, so approach with appropriate caution. The surrounding Buldah area provides typical Victorian high country scenery, though your focus will understandably remain on the track ahead.

Come prepared with a capable 4WD, good ground clearance, and appropriate recovery gear. Check your vehicle's condition before attempting the steep sections, and consider attempting this trail during drier conditions if you're new to steep grade driving.
