Dan Track

Dan Track delivers a punchy off-road challenge that packs serious technical difficulty into a deceptively short distance. Near Tallarook, Victoria, you'll encounter the kind of terrain that separates experienced 4WD drivers from the rest—tight obstacles, rocky sections, and demanding line choices that require precision driving and vehicle control. Despite the modest 0.2 km length, don't underestimate this track; it's designed to test your skills and your vehicle's capability in concentrated bursts of technical terrain.

The driving experience here focuses on obstacle navigation rather than distance. You'll need to pick your lines carefully through rocky outcrops and tight sections where winch recovery might become necessary if things go wrong. The Victoria bushland setting provides scenic surroundings, but your attention will be firmly fixed on the terrain ahead. You should come prepared with a well-maintained 4WD, recovery gear, and ideally a spotter to guide you through the trickiest sections.

Most drivers complete Dan Track in around five minutes, though that time varies considerably depending on your approach and whether you need to attempt sections multiple times. With 16 vehicles already logged on Newtracs, you'll join a group of serious off-road enthusiasts who've tackled this gem. Before heading out, check current conditions and bring appropriate supplies—this isn't a casual Sunday drive, but rather a focused technical challenge that rewards skill and preparation.
