Valentines Track

You'll discover a challenging alpine route near Stirling that rewards adventurous 4WD drivers with technical terrain and rewarding mountain scenery. Valentines Track delivers a genuine off-road experience with its steep 16% grades that demand careful vehicle control and driver skill. The 2.9 km track may be short, but it packs concentrated driving challenges that will test your suspension, traction, and navigation abilities through some demanding Victorian highland country.

The trail takes you through rugged terrain where you'll encounter significant elevation changes and varied ground conditions typical of the Stirling region. You should be prepared for loose surfaces and steep sections that require low-range gearing and deliberate line selection. The remote location means you'll want to carry recovery gear, extra fuel, and communication equipment—help isn't nearby if something goes wrong.
