Hilliers Road

Hilliers Road offers 4WD enthusiasts an accessible introduction to off-road driving near Whittlesea, making it perfect for those building confidence behind the wheel or enjoying a quick recreational run. You'll navigate a gentle 3.4-kilometre route that showcases the diverse landscape of Victoria's outer regions, combining relatively smooth sections with subtle terrain variations that keep you engaged without overwhelming inexperienced drivers.

The terrain consists primarily of well-established track surfaces with minimal obstacles, allowing you to focus on vehicle control and line selection rather than technical navigation. You'll encounter only a modest 2% grade throughout, meaning steep climbs and descents won't test your suspension or nerves.
