Tingaringy Track

Challenge yourself on the Tingaringy Track, a demanding medium-difficulty route that rewards experienced 4WD drivers with genuine technical obstacles and rewarding scenery near Bonang. You'll tackle steep grades reaching 36% as you navigate through rugged terrain that demands respect and proper vehicle preparation. This 3.6 km track isn't for the faint-hearted—only three vehicles have successfully completed it, testament to the serious nature of this route.

The driving experience here is intense and focused. You'll need a winch-equipped vehicle to safely manage the most challenging sections, as the steep grades leave little margin for error. The track winds through Victoria's remote backcountry, offering isolation and natural beauty that few casual drivers experience. Every meter requires concentration and skill, with the terrain testing both your vehicle's capabilities and your own driving technique.

Before attempting Tingaringy, ensure your 4WD is in peak condition with a functional winch system installed. Check trail conditions via the Newtracs app, where you can review completion data from previous drivers and plan your approach. Typically taking around 21 minutes to complete, this is a trail where preparation, caution, and mechanical sympathy will determine your success. Come equipped, come confident, and come ready for one of Victoria's most challenging off-road experiences.
