Brophys Track

Brophys Track offers 4WD enthusiasts a compact yet challenging route near Koetong that rewards drivers willing to tackle its demanding gradient. You'll find this 2.2 km track presents an 8% steep grade that demands respect and proper vehicle setup—this is no casual cruise through the countryside. The relatively short distance belies the concentrated difficulty you'll encounter, making it ideal for those looking to test their vehicle's capabilities and their own driving skills on a focused, technical section.

As you navigate Brophys Track, you'll experience the rugged landscape characteristic of Victoria's high country terrain. The steep gradient means careful line selection and throttle control are essential, particularly if conditions are wet or loose. You should prepare thoroughly before attempting this route: ensure your vehicle is in excellent mechanical condition, carry recovery gear, and ideally have a spotter or second vehicle on hand. The unrated status and lack of recorded completions suggest this is a lesser-known local gem that hasn't yet attracted significant traffic, which adds to its appeal for adventurous drivers seeking quieter alternatives.

Before heading out, use the Newtracs app to confirm current conditions and ensure you have the latest trail information. Factor in adequate time for careful navigation rather than rushing through, as the steep grade demands concentration and precision throughout your run.
