Huon Peter Track

Challenge yourself on one of Victoria's most demanding 4WD routes, where steep grades and technical terrain will test your vehicle's capability and your driving skill. The Huon Peter Track near Combienbar rewards adventurous drivers with a thrilling 4.3 km push through rugged countryside that few have conquered. You'll encounter a punishing 9% average grade that climbs relentlessly, demanding constant concentration and precise throttle control as you navigate rocky sections and uneven surfaces.

The terrain transitions between exposed rocky outcrops and tighter vegetation-lined sections, offering varied scenery as you work your way through this challenging landscape. You should expect loose gravel, deep ruts, and steep sideslopes that will keep your vehicle balanced on the edge of traction. The driving experience is intense and focused—this isn't a leisurely scenic cruise, but rather a genuine test that typically takes 23 minutes of concentrated effort to complete.

Before tackling this track, ensure your 4WD is in prime condition with quality tyres, robust suspension, and reliable brakes. Carry recovery equipment, extra water, and a communication device, as the remote location offers limited help if things go wrong. Only one vehicle has logged this trail on Newtracs, making it a genuine challenge for experienced off-roaders seeking to push their limits. Come prepared, drive defensively, and respect the terrain's unforgiving nature.
