Army Mid Track

If you're seeking a genuinely challenging 4WD experience that will test both your vehicle and your skills, Army Mid Track near Toombon delivers in spades. This 7.3 km beast commands respect with its punishing 21% grade and technical terrain that separates serious off-roaders from casual weekend warriors. You'll encounter steep rocky sections, deeply rutted passages, and obstacles that demand precise vehicle control and genuine recovery capability—this is why 84 vehicles have tackled it, not all without assistance.

You should arrive well-prepared: a winch isn't optional here, it's essential. Pack recovery gear, extra water, and tools for field repairs. The terrain transitions between exposed rocky outcrops and dense vegetation, offering dramatic Victoria's high country views as you climb. Your journey will likely take around 46 minutes of intense concentration, with every turn requiring deliberate technique. The steep grades mean constant weight management and careful line selection to avoid rollovers or getting high-centered on the jagged landscape.

This trail rewards preparation and humility. Before attempting Army Mid Track, ensure your vehicle is properly equipped, your tyres are suited to rocky terrain, and your recovery systems are in working order. The Newtracs app can help you track your progress and compare completion times with other experienced drivers.
