Oakleys Track

Oakleys Track offers 4WD enthusiasts a rewarding medium-difficulty adventure through Victoria's scenic high country near Benambra. You'll navigate 13.1 kilometres of well-defined track that combines technical driving sections with stunning alpine vistas, making it an ideal choice for drivers looking to build their off-road skills without extreme demands.

The terrain alternates between rocky outcrops and graded sections, with an 8% gradient that keeps you engaged throughout the 40-minute journey. You'll experience genuine 4WD challenges—tight switchbacks, washboard surfaces, and creek crossings—while surrounded by eucalypt forests and mountain scenery that makes every twist worthwhile. The track is firm underfoot in dry conditions but demands respect during or after rain, when grip becomes unpredictable and water crossings swell.

Before tackling Oakleys Track, ensure your vehicle is mechanically sound with good tyre tread and adequate ground clearance. Carry recovery gear, extra water, and a basic toolkit, as mobile service is limited in this remote area. Check recent conditions through the Newtracs app before departing, and consider tackling the trail in daylight hours. With 13 vehicles having successfully completed this track, you'll be joining a growing community of adventurers who've discovered why this Benambra gem deserves its reputation as a must-do medium-grade challenge.
