Hutchinson Track

You'll find the Hutchinson Track offers an exciting compact challenge that packs serious technical driving into just 1.4 kilometres near Three Bridges, Victoria. This medium-difficulty route showcases what makes off-road driving so rewarding—steep grades that demand respect, variable terrain that tests your vehicle's capabilities, and a genuine sense of accomplishment when you complete it. The track's 24% gradient means you're tackling some genuinely steep sections that will engage your 4WD's traction control and suspension, making every metre count.

The drive takes around four minutes of focused, concentrated driving through challenging conditions. You'll navigate terrain that requires careful line selection and steady throttle control, with the steepness creating natural exposure to both ascent and descent challenges. The surrounding landscape near Three Bridges provides scenic bush country context for your adventure, though your attention will rightfully be on the track ahead rather than sightseeing.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in top condition—tyres with good tread, fluid levels checked, and recovery equipment onboard are essential given the gradient.
