Roundabout Track

You'll find the Roundabout Track offers a quick but rewarding 4WD experience near Mount Cole, combining technical driving with scenic beauty in a compact package. Despite its modest 0.8 km length, this medium-difficulty trail packs genuine challenge into those ten minutes, making it ideal for drivers looking to refine their skills without committing to a full-day expedition. The 11% steep grade demands respect and proper vehicle control as you navigate the undulating terrain, with the landscape revealing the rugged character of Victoria's volcanic country.

As you progress, expect a mix of rocky sections and tighter switchbacks that test your line choice and precision. The surrounding bushland provides an authentic off-road atmosphere while the proximity to Mount Cole adds scenic context to your drive. You should ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition and your tyres have adequate tread before attempting this track—the steep grades combined with uneven ground mean recovery could be complicated if things go wrong. The fact that only ten vehicles have completed this route suggests it remains relatively untouched and challenging.
