Border Track

The Border Track offers 4WD enthusiasts a unique opportunity to explore the remote wilderness separating Victoria and South Australia while tackling a genuinely rewarding medium-difficulty route. You'll navigate 80.4 kilometres of diverse terrain that demands respect but rewards confident drivers with stunning Big Desert scenery and genuine off-road adventure.

This trail takes you through a landscape where sandy tracks, corrugated sections, and variable ground conditions keep you engaged throughout your three-plus-hour journey. You'll experience the authentic character of this remote border region, passing through native vegetation and open country that feels genuinely isolated. The driving is technical enough to be satisfying without being punishing—you'll need solid vehicle control and situational awareness, but the 0% steep grade means you're focused on navigating surface conditions rather than extreme angles.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in excellent mechanical condition and carry adequate water, fuel, and recovery gear. The remoteness of this area means help isn't nearby, so self-sufficiency is essential. You should check current track conditions before departure, as seasonal changes can affect accessibility. The Border Track has proven popular with 66 previous drivers, each confirming this is a trail that delivers genuine off-road experience in one of Australia's most characterful regions. Whether you're building your 4WD skills or seeking authentic outback driving, this track delivers the goods.
