Bennetts Track

Bennetts Track delivers a serious test of your 4WD skills with relentless steep grades and technical terrain that'll keep you focused for every one of your 4.7 km journey. Near Gentle Annie in Victoria, this hard-rated trail punishes hesitation with its unforgiving 15% gradient and demands respect from even experienced drivers. You'll navigate rocky sections and challenging ascents that require precise vehicle control, making this one of the more demanding routes in the region.

The scenic Victorian landscape unfolds around you as you climb, but the views come with a price—constant concentration and careful line selection. You'll encounter ruts, loose surfaces, and terrain that tests your suspension and traction control to their limits. The 11-minute average completion time reflects the technical difficulty rather than distance; rushing here isn't an option. Before tackling Bennetts Track, ensure your vehicle is in top mechanical condition, carry recovery gear, and consider bringing a spotter for the steepest sections.
