Stoney No1 Track

You'll find the Stoney No1 Track a rewarding mid-range adventure that delivers genuine 4WD challenges without overwhelming difficulty. Nestled near Walhalla East in Victoria's rugged landscape, this 5-kilometre route showcases the region's distinctive terrain where rocky outcrops and uneven ground test your vehicle handling skills. The track winds through native bush with spectacular views that reward your efforts, making this a popular choice for drivers looking to build confidence on tougher surfaces.

The driving experience balances technical sections with more flowing passages, keeping you engaged throughout the 14-minute run. You'll navigate through rocky stretches that demand careful line selection and steady throttle control—the 2% steep grade means you're mostly dealing with horizontal challenges rather than extreme elevation changes. Watch for protruding stones and uneven ruts that can catch you off-guard if you're not paying attention. Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition with adequate ground clearance and appropriate tyres for rocky terrain. The track's popularity among Newtracs users (18 vehicles have completed it) means you'll benefit from established lines through the trickier sections.

Bring recovery gear just in case, check weather conditions beforehand—the track can become slippery when wet—and consider going with experienced company if you're new to off-roading. This is the kind of trail that builds real driving skills while remaining accessible to intermediate adventurers.
