Ferguson Track

You'll love Ferguson Track for its perfect blend of accessibility and genuine 4WD challenge—it's the ideal medium-difficulty run if you're building your off-road skills without overcommitting to a full day expedition. Near Mount Buller, this 3.5 km track delivers varied terrain that keeps you engaged throughout the 15-minute drive, with enough technical sections to test your vehicle handling while remaining manageable for intermediate drivers.

The track winds through classic Victorian high country landscape, where you'll navigate rocky outcrops and rutted sections that showcase what your 4WD can handle. The steady 3% grade means you're working with gravity rather than fighting it, but don't mistake that for easy—washouts and embedded rocks demand careful line selection and smooth throttle control. You'll encounter tighter vegetation in places, so good visibility and wing mirrors are essential. The surrounding scenery rewards your concentration, with mountain views opening up as you progress.

Come prepared with proper tyre pressure adjustments for the rocky sections, and carry recovery gear despite the moderate difficulty—you're in remote country where assistance isn't minutes away. Check conditions before heading out, especially after rain when ruts can become treacherous. With 30+ successful runs already logged on Newtracs, Ferguson Track has proven its worth as a confidence-builder that never feels routine.
