Yorke Fireline

You'll discover an intriguing backcountry route in the high country near Tawonga that rewards curious explorers with access to remote forested terrain. The Yorke Fireline offers a unique off-road experience through Victoria's Alpine region, following a historic fire management track that winds through dense mountain vegetation. This 4.6 km route presents a genuine opportunity to venture where few 4WD enthusiasts have ventured before—the lack of recorded traffic means you're exploring relatively untouched country.

The trail features a gentle 2% grade, making it accessible for a range of vehicles and drivers seeking a more leisurely backcountry exploration rather than extreme technical challenge. You'll navigate through mixed forest typical of the Tawonga area, with narrow sections that demand careful line choice and attention to vegetation encroachment. The remote nature of this track means you should come well-prepared: carry water, fuel, and recovery gear, as assistance from other trail users is unlikely. Mobile service may be unreliable, so plan accordingly and let someone know your expected return time.

This is ideal terrain for drivers who enjoy discovering lesser-known routes and appreciating Victoria's high country in its raw state. Whether you're testing your navigation skills or simply seeking solitude away from popular tourist tracks, Yorke Fireline delivers an authentic backcountry experience.
