Bunyip Track

The Bunyip Track offers 4WD enthusiasts an accessible introduction to off-road driving near Barmah, combining easy navigation with scenic woodland exploration. You'll traverse 5.2 km of well-maintained tracks that wind through diverse vegetation, providing an enjoyable driving experience without technical challenges.

Your journey takes you through picturesque eucalypt forests and open grassland areas typical of the Riverina region. The track's gentle nature makes it ideal for newer 4WD drivers or those looking for a relaxing weekend drive. You'll encounter packed earth and light gravel surfaces that require minimal vehicle preparation—standard off-road tires and basic recovery equipment are sufficient. The 6-minute average completion time is quite flexible, allowing you to pause and appreciate the native wildlife and birdwatching opportunities along the way.

Before heading out, check local conditions as seasonal rainfall can affect track accessibility. Bring plenty of water, sun protection, and a map—though tracking your progress with the Newtracs app can enhance your navigation confidence on this beginner-friendly route. The Bunyip Track's combination of ease and genuine outback character makes it a rewarding experience for anyone keen to explore beyond the bitumen.
