Mine Track

Mine Track near Yalmy offers 4WD enthusiasts a challenging backcountry experience with genuine technical demands. This 4.4 km route rewards drivers willing to tackle steep grades and remote terrain with a taste of Victoria's mining heritage and rugged landscape. You'll navigate sections with a punishing 19% gradient that will test your vehicle's capability and your driving skill, so adequate preparation is essential before attempting this trail.

The track winds through relatively undeveloped country, delivering an authentic off-road experience away from well-trodden paths. You'll encounter varied terrain that demands concentration and vehicle control, particularly on the steeper sections where loose surfaces and elevation changes keep you engaged throughout the drive. The surrounding bush country provides scenic backdrop to an otherwise demanding technical challenge.

Before heading out, ensure your 4WD is in top mechanical condition—high-clearance, good ground clearance, and quality tires are non-negotiable for Mine Track. Carry recovery gear, extra fuel, and supplies, as this remote area offers limited support. Check weather conditions beforehand, as rain can quickly make the steep sections treacherous. Consider using the Newtracs app to track your progress and location on this unrated trail.
