Boonabirrah Track

You'll discover why the Boonabirrah Track near Swifts Creek has earned its reputation as a rewarding medium-difficulty challenge for 4WD enthusiasts. This 7.1 km route tests your vehicle handling with a demanding 20% grade that keeps you engaged throughout the 18-minute journey. The terrain combines rocky sections with natural obstacles that demand precise steering and good throttle control, making it ideal for drivers looking to sharpen their skills without extreme technical demands.

As you progress along the track, you'll navigate through varied Victorian bushland with scenic views that reward your concentration.
