Scrub Track

Scrub Track offers 4WD enthusiasts a rewarding medium-difficulty experience just minutes from Strathdale, combining technical driving with scenic bushland exploration. You'll navigate through 2.1 km of varied terrain where dense scrubland creates an intimate off-road experience, with narrow sections that demand careful steering and vehicle control. The track's moderate challenge level makes it ideal for drivers building their off-road confidence without the intensity of advanced routes.

As you progress through the trail, you'll encounter mixed ground conditions typical of Victoria's scrubland environment—expect loose gravel, occasional rocky sections, and tighter vegetation corridors that test your line selection and spatial awareness. The flat grade means you can focus on lateral obstacles rather than steep climbs, allowing for a more technical, precision-based drive. Completion typically takes around 8 minutes at a steady pace, though you may choose to move slower to fully appreciate the natural surroundings and refine your vehicle handling skills.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good working order and carry recovery equipment, as the vegetation can obscure potential hazards. The track's popularity among the Newtracs community—with several successful runs already logged—confirms it's a reliable choice for weekend exploration.
