Blue Gum Track

You'll discover an intriguing opportunity to explore a lesser-known corner of Victoria's high country on the Blue Gum Track near Koetong. This short 1.7 km route offers 4WD enthusiasts a chance to venture into terrain that remains largely untrafficked, making it ideal for those seeking to push beyond the well-worn paths. The track winds through native bushland where towering blue gums provide both scenic beauty and natural navigation markers as you wind through the undulating landscape.

The gentle grade means you can focus on line selection and obstacle negotiation rather than wrestling with steep descents, allowing you to hone your technical driving skills in a forgiving environment. Expect variable track conditions typical of remote Victorian trails—potential ruts, fallen branches, and uneven surfaces that demand attention and steady vehicle control. The surrounding forest offers good shade cover, though you should carry adequate water and fuel given the remote location away from services.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is well-maintained and equipped with recovery gear. Check local conditions beforehand using Newtracs to confirm current track status, as seasonal weather and maintenance activities can affect accessibility. This is the kind of hidden gem that rewards explorers willing to venture off the highway and discover what the Victorian high country truly has to offer.
