Meehans Track

Meehans Track offers a perfect introduction to off-road driving near Gellibrand, combining gentle terrain with genuine Otways character. You'll navigate a straightforward 5.8 km route that showcases the region's lush vegetation and forest landscapes without demanding advanced driving skills. The minimal 2% grade means you can focus on enjoying the scenery rather than wrestling with technical obstacles, making this an ideal choice for families, newcomers to 4WDing, or anyone seeking a relaxed bush experience.

The drive itself is refreshingly accessible—your vehicle handles the well-defined track with ease, and you'll complete it in around 9 minutes of actual driving. You should expect typical forest conditions with occasional ruts and packed earth surfaces that remain manageable year-round. The surrounding Otways bushland creates an immersive natural setting, though you'll want to check local conditions before heading out, particularly after heavy rainfall when drainage can be slower in low-lying sections.
