Brushcutters Track

Brushcutters Track offers 4WD enthusiasts an accessible introduction to off-road driving in Victoria's unique Big Desert region. You'll experience a thoroughly enjoyable 37.6 km journey through iconic Australian bushland without the technical demands of more challenging trails, making it perfect for developing your skills or enjoying a relaxed weekend adventure.

The track winds through diverse terrain featuring red earth tracks, native scrubland, and open woodland sections that showcase the Big Desert's natural character. You'll encounter primarily well-formed sandy and gravelly surfaces with minimal obstacles, creating a smooth driving experience that lets you focus on enjoying the landscape rather than wrestling with your vehicle. The lack of steep grades means you can maintain steady progress throughout the route, typically completing the full circuit in around 1 hour 35 minutes.

Before heading out, prepare with basic recovery equipment and ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition—while this trail is forgiving, you're still remote from major services. Bring adequate water and fuel, check weather conditions beforehand, and consider using the Newtracs app to navigate waypoints along the route.
