This 3.1 km circuit delivers genuine off-road challenges without overwhelming inexperienced drivers, making it ideal for building your 4WD confidence. The track demands respect with its 6% steep grades and technical sections that will test your vehicle handling and line choice.

As you navigate the loop, you'll experience genuine bush terrain with varied ground conditions that keep you engaged throughout the roughly 70-minute drive. The surrounding landscape showcases classic Victorian bushland character, with tight tree-lined sections and natural obstacles that require careful maneuvering.
