Kelly Leasehold Road

Kelly Leasehold Road offers a perfect introduction to off-road driving near Briagolong, with gentle terrain that builds confidence without demanding technical skill. You'll discover a straightforward 2.7 km route that winds through rural Victoria's pastoral landscape, where open farmland and native vegetation create a relaxing driving experience. The completely flat grade means you can focus on enjoying the countryside rather than navigating challenging obstacles, making this an ideal choice for newcomers to 4WD adventures or anyone seeking a leisurely backcountry drive.

The trail's minimal technical demands don't mean it lacks character. You'll traverse well-defined tracks that reveal the region's agricultural heritage while providing genuine off-road atmosphere. The short completion time of around six minutes means you can complete the route and explore the surrounding area, or use it as a warm-up before tackling more challenging trails in the region. Ground conditions can vary seasonally, so you should check local weather and recent rainfall before heading out—muddy patches after rain can affect traction even on easy terrain.

This accessible trail is perfect for those learning vehicle handling or introducing passengers to off-roading. You'll need standard 4WD capability and basic supplies, but no specialised equipment or recovery gear is necessary. With only two previous drivers recorded on Newtracs, you might enjoy the solitude of this quiet rural route while exploring Victoria's farming country.
