Scrubby Creek Track

You'll find Scrubby Creek Track offers a thrilling yet manageable challenge for intermediate 4WD drivers looking to test their vehicle's capabilities in Victoria's rugged High Country. This 3-kilometre route near Nariel Valley serves up genuine technical driving with its demanding 33% grades that will keep you engaged behind the wheel. As you navigate the winding track, you'll experience the raw beauty of the scrubby bushland that gives this trail its character, with native vegetation framing your passage through this relatively remote corner of Victoria.

The steep grades demand respect and proper technique—you'll need a vehicle with genuine off-road credentials and driver confidence to handle the demanding ascents and descents. We recommend checking weather conditions before heading out, as these grades become significantly more hazardous when wet. Lower gear selection and steady throttle control are essential, and you should take time to scout steep sections if you're unfamiliar with the route. The trail's relatively short 7-minute average completion time can quickly extend if conditions are challenging.

With 16 recorded vehicle attempts already logged, you'll be joining a select group of drivers who've conquered this medium-difficulty gem. The combination of technical terrain and natural surroundings makes Scrubby Creek Track a rewarding addition to any serious 4WD adventure in the region.
